Deborah Butler

I'm a retired teacher. That's right! With over 30 years of experience, my first career has prepared me for my second career as a freelance writer. 

Teaching classrooms of 25 or more rambunctious students — all learning styles, personalities, and needs —  has enabled me to multi-task and prioritize assignments, creating quality results while meeting deadlines. 

I actively use my B2C and B2B copywriting AWAI courses and HubSpot email marketing certification to write copy that maximizes conversion rates.

I am a true grammarian who loves and respects the written word. I meticulously proofread my work to ensure quality content for my client. I love collaborating with other writers and editors to constantly hone my writing skills and learn from them.

Professionalism is critical to me, and my interpersonal skills allow me to effectively communicate with co-workers and clients. Creating work for which I'm proud is what motivates me every day.
