Copywriter for Creative Entrepreneurs & Brands

If you've made it here, 

You want the                  copywriter who will turn your ideas into a brand that resonates with your people & beautifully tells your story.

Right

Your story starts here.

You’re a business owner & you love what you do. But you’re ready to take your brand to the next level.

I'm here to understand what’s in your head and heart and translate it into a story your dream clients will be captivated by.

If you can’t put it into words yourself, feel overwhelmed, and need some brand clarity like, yesterday, you opened up to the right chapter.

Hey! I’m Kayla!

Copywriting Strategist

Someone wise once said, “I contain multitudes.” That’s how I think about my work with business owners like you. We all contain multitudes. We all have a story in us, just waiting to break free. Sometimes it’s telling that story that poses the difficulty. Because you have plenty of amazing ideas and incredible experiences to share with the world. You just need the right copywriter to bring it out of you and make it click-worthy (because, conversions) & storybook good (because it can’t be boring).

This all started with books. Reading them. Writing them. Sharing them. It’s no surprise, then, that I got both my degrees in English, filled an apartment full of more books than you can count in an hour, and spent most of 2017 trying to write with a typewriter. After gathering up bylines at everything from local weekly magazines to household names, I put up my small-business shingle and started working with business owners like you in 2018.

More than anything, I care about making your brilliant ideas sound amazing. Because stories make up who we are. 

Sharing them brings us genuine connection with others. Bringing those stories into your business means letting others become part of your story, too.

My goal? To turn around your brand story for good with transformational copywriting that supports your business for years to come.

In other words, I create copywriting that helps you come from a place of strategy, not stress.

You have literally mastered what I’ve had in my brain for years, but didn’t have the confidence or the “salesmanship” to do myself."

“I want to say a big and enthusiastic thank you to you. You have literally mastered what I’ve had in my brain for years, but didn’t have the confidence or the “salesmanship” to do myself. I truly feel you have totally captured the essence of my journey and my business, and it totally comes across in my light hearted and happy type emails & website copy that you created. You have so successfully put into words my desire for art and healing to go hand and hand. I want to hug you! I am so so pleased. Not a change no constructive feedback just straight up love and excitement.”

"My favorite part about the website copy and brand messaging is
that it's clear and in MY voice."

"Starting from the discovery call, I felt like Kayla actively listened to my pains with copy. The face-to-face calls & quick communication was huge for me. My favorite part about the website copy and brand messaging is that it's clear and in MY voice. My ideal clients will hear my voice in the copy which is consistent across platforms (and used to be a pain point of mine!). I love everything: the service, brand book, and assistance."

"Kayla is a gifted writer. "

She has the rare ability to capture thoughts from a conversation and turn them in to words so eloquently written on the page. Kayla knows all aspects of the journey to get your message out to the world. If you need copy on a tight timeframe, Kayla’s VIP day is the way to go. We spoke in the morning, connected a couple of times during the day, and by the end of the day the copy was ready to go. I would highly recommend Kayla. She helps make dreams come true!"

“Total brand elevation.”

You are a genius at what you do. Yes to everything! What a beautiful product you have put together. Seriously, your attention to aesthetic and brand detail is stunning! I don't have any notes to add. I love everything you have weaved here! The headliner is absolutely perfect! I love how elevated the messaging is. The copy is designed to convert and an excellent translation of what I actually do. The entire experience has been polished and professional, going above and beyond copy and into the brand itself. Total brand elevation. I'm excited to continue growing my online presence.

"I feel so much more confident in my website copy and in my brand's voice."

Before I investing in Kayla, it would take me tons of time to write and re-write my website content and then I would spend so much time second-guessing it and worrying that it wasn't good or speaking directly to my ideal client. After working with Kayla, I feel so much more confident in my website copy and in my brand's voice so that I can show up in the way that my audience needs me. Plus it saved me so much more time than if I had done it myself which is invaluable to me. Kayla went above and beyond. Thank you so much!

"THANK YOU!!!!"

I can't believe you created all of this magic so quickly! I wanted to let you know that I'm so grateful to work with you. I know this won't be the last thing we work on :)

“I honestly thought there wasn’t any way you could really “get” what I was trying to say but you did!!!

What in the world?! Seriously how did you do that?? I’m blown away and I’ve used copywriters before… you’re SO good. I honestly thought there wasn’t any way you could really “get” what I was trying to say but you did!!! Seriously, I'm so impressed. Last night I read it to my husband and he was like... it sounds like you, only way better!

"Our customers have resonated with the copy she developed, and it is helping us build rapport."

Kayla made the process so easy. She did her research to learn our niche market and the resulting copy was spot on. Our customers have resonated with the copy she developed, and it is helping us build rapport. My favorite part of the copy is how versatile it is. It is written in a way that is easy to use on different platforms.

The copy also streamlines our packaging decisions and social media management. We can take what she developed for the website and easily adapt it for our current need.

"My site is now #1 in my primary SEO keyword target, and I am consistently in the top 5 for my second keyword!"

When I found out that my current "go to copywriter" was shutting down her business several months before my big website launch my heart dropped. I searched desperately to find any other creative copywriters and came across Kayla's website. Cue the hallelujah chorus because I am SO glad I did!! Kayla was able to take all my brain dump and turn it into the website copy of my dreams. Not only did she write compelling on brand copy BUT now I am happily sitting at number one in my top SEO keywords. I was so nervous going into such a big project, but Kayla blew me away with every final page she sent over. I know for a fact that I would not have had my website done in time if it weren't for Kayla.

“Working with Kayla was one of the best investments I've made to date.”

I feel far more confident in my website copy in that Kayla has been able to help me share my message with a polished clarity and consistency that I couldn't quite reach before. Prior to Kayla's help I felt that my copy was all over the place and I just needed someone who 'gets it' to take the reins. I believe with my new copy and clearer message from Kayla I will book more clients.Working with Kayla was one of the best investments I've made to date. I am now confident in my website copy and can't wait to book my next client - and tell Kayla! I loved working with Kayla, the process was easy, stress free and like talking to a friend who just 'gets it' she knows what you are trying to say and achieve. She turns your mind mumble jumble into a clear message. If you are stuck or need help with your copy Kayla is the magic you so need!

“Her work is more than I had dreamed and far better than anything I could have ever written.”

As an illustrator and designer, I love to tell client stories. When it came to my own site, I was looking to build a story of my own. Kayla took an idea of a bustling garden & transformed it into a beautiful, whimsical story. Kayla has an amazing ability to understand & translate what was in my head & heart into her writing. Her work is more than I had dreamed and far better than anything I could ever have written. It's the perfect balance of playfulness & storytelling while still being informative. I can't thank her enough for telling the story that I could never have put into words myself.

“This is all so perfect.”

This is all so perfect! It's packed with everything I've been trying to put into words and flows so nicely! Now I just want to work on redesigning my investment guide all day!

Things You Should Know About Me

next  ➙

I’m crazy about untranslatable and beautiful words.
(And have a whole Pinterest board full of them!)

01.

I have an addiction to reading
(and there’s a name for it)

02.

My favorite city is London. When I visited, I couldn’t resist making my visit full of my favorite literary heroes and authors.

03.

Chances are, I’m never too far away from something pink. As I like to say, it’s my spirit color. Seriously.
Not kidding.

04.

I own a typewriter from 1948 (a birthday present from my husband Matt). I don’t use it to write with, but it still works! Just as soon as I replace the ribbon…

05.

I have hundreds of books on my TBR (to be read pile) on Goodreads. Asking me about my favorite book is like asking me to pick just one adventure to love.

06.

You Should Also Meet Matt

Back in 2012 when we first started dating, books were our first point of connection. We traded our favorite books like some people trade playlists. Our wedding, hundreds of books, several adventures, and eight years later, we’re still our favorite love story.

With a BS.E. in Engineering and soon-to-be newly minted MBA, Matt is our business advisor helping everything run smoothly. He’s the pro who helps us envision the future of the business through spreadsheets & visualizations that truly help us plan the long-term of the business!

When he’s not here at The Literary Co, he works as a prototyping engineer at his day job.
