cOnce upon a time, I graduated with a degree in English Literature from Mount Holyoke College. I had absolutely no clue about a career. Not knowing what else to do, I crammed a bunch of boxes into a friend's Honda Civic and hightailed it to New York City.
I dreamt of becoming a fancy editor with a fancy salary. Luckily, my dream materialized. Well, at least parts of it came true. At Harcourt Brace, Pocket Books and Putnam, I learned from the best editors, designers and publicists in the world.
Then I branched out and took a job as a Story Editor at News Group Productions, a movie production house owned by Rupert Murdoch. That experience honed my skills in storytelling. I learned how to condense a movie concept into a couple of pages compelling enough to hold the attention of a jaded studio executive.
After scraping by on minimal wages in New York City, I again packed up a borrowed car and took a new position as a publications editor at a start-up in Connecticut. Xerox Learning Systems got sold and resold a few times, and I cycled through a progression of "marcom" (yucky word) positions.
After several years of this, I left corporate life behind and took over a boutique (read: small) marketing agency. It was there that I discovered just how much I loved working one-on-one with creative types. That idea stayed with me, and in 2013, I started Bungalow Hill.
What I do: I help creative people promote their work and their worth, gracefully and genuinely.
Where I am: I live in a bungalow on a hill near Belfast, Maine, with my husband and our Boykin Spaniel.
What I offer: Communications support for creative people with zero interest in self-promotion.
Fees: My services are easily scalable and stackable based on your budget, timing and temperament.
What now: Let's schedule a (free) 30-minute consult to get acquainted.
