Services

Sometimes, lorem ipsum just doesn’t cut it.

I write everything myself, so there is no need to worry that your project is being shuffled off to someone else.  My schedule is my own, and you will receive your project on deadline and within the agreed budget.
  • Copywriting:             Put the wind back in your sales.
Bringing in a solid business return for you is more important than exercising my skills with a metaphor.  You’ll get crisp, direct writing that works.

Copy Review and Editing
I can green-pencil your copy (red is so…punitive) for grammar, structure, and syntax.  This can be done on a project-to-project basis or, if you have a regular flow of material for review, on a monthly retainer.
  • Book Proposals
I write thorough, highly readable, and editor-friendly book proposals.  No co-authorship is implied unless you hire me specifically as a ghostwriter.
  • Ghostwriting, Speeches, and Other Anonymous Authorship
I can help with speeches, silent co-authorship, and even a cover letter or wedding toast if that’s what you need.  Serious, funny, or heartfelt, I’ll bring out the best in you and you alone.
  • Seminars & Presentations
My experience in public speaking can be of service in firing up a sales or creative team, brainstorming marketing strategies, or simply offering an entertaining perspective on whatever it is you do (e.g.: “Everything I Know About _________ (Salesmanship, Integrity, Public Policy—you fill in the blank) I Learned From Looney Tunes”)
    • Customized topics for your needs
    • Creative brainstorming sessions

About this blog

charles carney writes… is dedicated solely to showing off the writing portfolio of Charles Carney. That’s me. I understand that every piece of copy is a story waiting to be told—funny or serious, subtle or bold—for clients who want their ideas to have a voice. If you’ve ever been stuck for writing that is clear, smart, and conversational, I think I can help.
