Writing
My packages include a full range of collaborative writing, copywriting, editing, and proofreading assistance. I ghostwrite blog posts, newspaper op-eds, sales pages, course materials, and custom projects.01Editing
Did you know that there’s more than one type of editing, and each varies in complexity? I can work with you to:-
- Conceptualize the piece you wish to produce
- Inject passion and color to enliven your copy
- Take your copy from basic to refined
- Perfect it with final touches
I help you distinguish what should remain and what should go, in your article, website copy, short story, or book. Take a peek here to choose what kind of editing you seek. I can help you with each one, but our process will be quicker if we know from the get-go what you need.02
Proofreading
It MATTERS that you know the difference between “your” and “you’re,” and when to use “which” versus “that!” I will help you create your nonprofit or corporate identity in a way that is consistent with your intention and intelligence!03Ghostwriting
Ghostwriters collaborate with corporate leaders, politicians, and others to craft articles, books, and remarks or speeches that are attributed to the client, not the ghostwriter. This work requires a high level of collaboration between writer and client, which ensures that the writer not only creates the message the client wishes to convey, but does so in the client’s authentic voice.04How I Make You Look Better
Messaging ideas, wording, and phraseology get lost in translation regularly, There’s nothing that says “harried and unfocused” than website or whitepaper copy that’s all over the place, grammatically incorrect, or misspelled. Let me be your “second eyes” and use my strategic thinking, EQ, and obsessive attention to detail to your advantage!
My skills will build your brand, raise awareness about your product or service, enhance your relationship with your clients, motivate donors to support your initiatives, and allow you to devote more time to doing the work you love!

What clients say about my work
Carolyn and I have collaborated on numerous articles for Highlands-Cashiers Hospital, where I am President and Chief Nursing Officer. Her brilliance with words, enthusiasm for the process, and creativity have been priceless. We can discuss a few concepts, and she always comes back with fully formed, engaging pieces that consistently resonate with readers. Community member readers have commented on how much they enjoy reading the columns, and the relevant information they convey. Working with Carolyn will mean your readers will be engaged, and your message powerfully delivered.

Carolyn Comeau’s dedication to writing and skill set encapsulate both her passion and professionalism. She writes with heartfelt sentiment in every piece she does and is always timely in her deliveries. Her literary capabilities can catapult any business to success and it has been a true honor to work with her.
Katherine Dennehy, Manager System Gift Programs, Mission Health
Carolyn leads writing projects for a number of our clients. This was a tough responsibility for me to hand off, as much attention must be given to this essential part of the work we do. Carolyn is not afraid to take the reins, yet does so very respectfully and is sure to ask for all the information needed to get a job done with skill and expertise. She is professional and able to adapt to a variety of working styles and personalities – something that has come in very handy when dealing with an array of clients who can oftentimes be difficult to please. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and deliverables are always on time. Carolyn ensures that she researches every topic as thoroughly as needed to present an excellent piece. Her wide range of writing genres is uncanny – from heartwarming stories to industry-specific and jargon-filled copy for various industries. Her political and healthcare knowledge have been especially helpful to us. Aside from her writing skills, Carolyn’s ability to collaborate and work with me and my team adds huge value to the work, and has been something I have not been able to find from any other writer. If you are searching for a writer who really “gets it,” is easy to work with, is a strong communicator, and can take your projects to a higher level, I highly recommend Carolyn.

Carolyn’s writing is research-based, yet poetic, and draws the visitor in. While working for the Museum she researched and wrote exhibition content and structured tours for exhibitions on topics that ranged from the “built environment” in western North Carolina to the harrowing roles the residents of the Southern Highlands played during the Civil War; she wrote compelling content for our educational films and artifact labels and wrote an application that helped us win the 2016 Award of Excellence (Silver Place) for our exhibition “How The West Was Won: Trains and the Transformation of Western North Carolina” from the Southeastern Museums Conference. She has a rare ability to excel in the solitary pursuit of writing and editing, yet relishes collaboration and brings out the best in project team members.
