Kathy Shaidle’s Summary
My print and online copy has earned millions of dollars in sales and donations for major e-commerce and non-profit organizations.
I've successfully tackled pretty much everything: case studies, annual reports, interviews with/profiles of big name donors & newsmakers, website copy, brochures, press releases, full page newspaper ads, and much more.
I'm a fast learner, known for my quick turnaround time.
