Strong, clear copywriting for horticultural businesses.

Find out more here about Melinda R. Cordell, professional horticultural copywriter.

One word: communication. If the words you write puzzle your clients, they're not going to stick around to try and decode them.

That's where I come in. I understand writing (take a look at my writing credits) and I understand the horticulture business, both from out in the field and from behind the desk. I can be the bridge between you and the client.

I've written copy for Gurney's, Gardens Alive!, Spring Hill Nurseries, Breck's, Henry Field, Audubon Workshop, and Horticultural Marketing and Printing. Right now I'm working with ECOLAGE, a nursery out of Louisiana, writing web copy, newsletters, and email texts for them. Take a look at my resume and see the rest of my work experience.

• And more!

• I also edit and proofread.

Are you and your staff overextended? Tired of reading sloppy copy? Or perhaps you have too many projects and are running way behind. We can help each another.

Tell me what you're selling and who your customers are. Show me brochures, catalogs, and other literature that will give me the information I need to write for you. We can discuss areas you'd especially like to have highlighted in the copy. If you like, I will show you an early draft to be sure we're on the same page. I'm not afraid to ask questions, because I want to write the copy exactly the way you want it.

My turnaround is quick because I'm a fast writer. I don't believe in writer's block ... I simply bang my head against the keyboard until I produce something good. And I always work best with a deadline.

I will have the copy on your desk by deadline -- or before.

And it is guaranteed to please you.

I am eager to work for a good client and you're needing a good copywriter - let's see what we can do together to earn a few greenbacks while making our customers happy.
