Ghostwriting

Many leaders are great writers – they just don’t have time to write everything themselves, or they like to generate a first draft for someone else to edit and polish.

Other leaders are great speakers who prefer to leave the writing to a trusted wordsmith. Either way, I can work with you to craft articles, opinion pieces and talking points that capture your vision and voice.

Core Messaging

Core messaging is an integral part of my writing process for most large projects. Message development can also be provided as a stand-alone service.

The Wordhoney approach to messaging is not about “spin” – the goal is to help you engage in authentic communication with key audiences about who you are and what you do.

Get in Touch

My name is Amy Southerland. I’m a freelance writer and communications consultant based in Washington, DC. My experience is wide-ranging, but I especially enjoy working with nonprofits and small, community-based businesses.

I moved to DC in 2003 from my hometown of Kansas City. I have master’s degrees in English and journalism from the University of Kansas, and while working on my “unPhD” I taught college English for six years.

Non-writerly jobs I’ve had over the years that contribute to my worldview include: washing glassware in a biochemistry lab, greeting visitors at a natural history museum, selling children’s shoes, slinging spaghetti, and being the pack leader at a doggie daycare.
