Frequently Asked Questions
Why me?
Because I am your donor base. I have twenty years of experience in healthcare, focused in underserved populations. I have volunteered with immigrants and hospice. I’ve adopted the unadoptable dog, more than once. And I’ve had the writing bug forever. I know how powerful the right words can be, and that they are never more powerful than when they are heartfelt.
“unique perspective with an extraordinary ability to write”
What can I do for you?
I focus on direct response letters and letters that nurture the relationship between an organization and its supporters. Case studies or personal impact statements are a great way to do this, and I am passionate about telling the story of how you help. And because we live in a digital world, I also craft website content, emails, and social media content that will capture your audience.
“compassion keeps people’s trust”
How do you know that I can provide what you need?
I have invested hundreds of hours learning the art of persuasive writing, and it never stops. There is always another course, medium, or skillset on the horizon. But my real work has been learning about people. I have spent a lifetime studying what motivates people— what hurts them, what heals them, and what moves them.
“on point with tone and content”
What are my fees?
A better question is, “Who do you want to help? What do they need to know?” That will help us create a project and fee that reflect the most effective outreach to the people you want to serve. Email me at BreeReza@ClearWaterWords.com and we can schedule a discovery call.
“loyal, honest, and fair”
What if you need something that isn’t on my list?
Just ask me. You might need help with a grant writing project. A mailer to send out to your community, a social media post, or a script for a radio spot. If you need something that you don’t see on my services list, just ask. I am here to help you grow.
“intelligent, determined, and creative”
Who have I worked with in the past?
I have made a career out of helping others. I have extensive experience in public and private sectors. A list is available on request of my information packet. Testimonials (in the navigation bar under About Me) will give you a sense of what it is like to work with me.
“positive attitude and sense of humor”
How long will it take to complete a project?
A simple banner ad can be available in a few days. A long form direct response letter or building a website will take a few weeks. After we have detailed the scope of a project, a specific timeline will be included in my contract. If you need a rush order, I may be able to accommodate you— if it’s realistic to meet both my expectations for quality and your expectations for time.
“trustworthy, a problem solver, adaptable and self-motivated”
What happens if you are not comfortable with the copy?
I’m not happy until you are happy. It is normal to expect a few changes on the way to the perfect message. To make sure we get it right, I have a revision process that is spelled out in my workflow systems section.
“intuitively sees the good in people”
How do you get in touch with me?
You can reach me by completing the contact page, or by email at breereza@clearwaterwords.com. Email has the advantage of allowing me to become familiar with your organization before we speak, and I like to be prepared. I know that your time is valuable.
I am here to make your outreach easier and more effective.
My writing is tailored to connect with your donors and motivate them to put their values into action. Thank you for taking a look at Clear Water Words. If you have questions, please drop me a line. I’d love to meet you.
