Red Pens Run In The Family

This is my Dad, a retired middle school teacher. Notice the red pen behind his ear. He inspired the name of my business, Red Pen Resources.

Dad wore a red pen behind his ear for as long as I can remember. But this is only one of the tools in his teaching toolbox. He also used kindness, wisdom, and an innate desire to help others do their best work. Here is how I unpack his toolbox to provide creative communication solutions for businesses and nonprofit organizations:

✍ The Red Pen—I always offer positive feedback first, followed by original ideas, suggested edits, and constructive comments to increase your visibility and grow your brand through various communication channels and platforms. Whether writing, editing, proofreading, or creating new content, I approach the work with a critical eye without being a critic.

💗 Kindness—I am deeply committed to your project, always responsive to your questions, respectful of your time, and aware of your deadlines. I also bring a smile and good snacks to our meetings. (Dad never said no to a Boston Kreme doughnut!)

🦉 Wisdom—I bring my professional experience, communication skills, platform knowledge (social media, email marketing, etc.), and passion for storytelling to help you reach your target audience, stand out from the competition, increase visibility, build engaging communities, raise money, and achieve your goals.

💙 A Desire to Help Others—Giving back to the community is an inherent part of my work ethic and personal beliefs. It would be an honor to help your business or organization succeed and bring about positive change by sharing your talents and hard work with others.

Thanks, Dad (and Mom!), for passing down the philosophy behind the red pen. If you want to learn more about Red Pen Resources, message me on LinkedIn or at [email protected].
