Content Writing Services
Content writing is the art of creating content. It needs to either inform, educate or entertain; it needs to have a clear purpose and/or reason behind the piece; it needs to represent the brand’s voice; it needs to be a good read. The best content writing is focused on the quality of the editorial, no matter if it comes from a brand or a publisher. For brands (and some data-driven publishers), content writing aligns with strategic business and marketing goals to attract audiences and potential customers.
Here’s one way to look at the two: content writing passes information along to your audience while copy-writing reveals what your brand is all about. Content writing includes:
- Blog posts
- Newspaper articles
- Magazine features
- Whitepapers
- Email newsletters
- E-books
- Books
- Print magazines
- Social media posts

- Ads, online and off
- Slogans and taglines
- Web page content
- SEO content
- Email campaigns
- Television or radio commercial scripts

Creative Storytelling
Storytelling is one of humanity’s oldest and most powerful tools. Well-crafted narratives can connect people, heal wounds, inspire, lead, and create change. Stories are humanity’s entry point into a different world, they have a truly transformative power that allows us to experience life in a different context.
Stories have the power to change the world in profound ways. They allow us to show the truth of who we are.
Over the years, the core principles of storytelling haven’t changed. In the digital age, we now have different tools in which we can shape our narratives in new and creative ways. Social media is a powerful instrument that gives us creative control over how others see our business or our brand.
At Good Writing Co. we are passionate about creative storytelling in all of its forms including social media, blogs, website content, and more. Everyone has a story to tell, let us help you tell your story. Our creative storytelling connects your audience to your brand on an emotional level.

Branding and Brand Voice
Brand voice refers to the personality and emotion infused into your company’s messaging, whether that’s on blogs, social media, print ads or any advertising medium. It encompasses everything from the words and language you use, to the personality and images your marketing assets aim to invoke.
Three things that your brand voice should include:
- What you stand for
- What you represent
- Why I’m doing what I’m doing
Tone
More than ever, readers want to make an emotional connection with the brands they follow or give business to. They want to read content that speaks to them — not at them, and not past them. This is where the tone of your messaging comes in.
When it comes to written content, it can be difficult to strike the right tone. We can help you with the following freelance services:
- Freelance copywriter
- Freelance writer for hire
- Freelance content creator
Editing and Other Services
Great editing leads to a great manuscript!
If your project has words in it, you need an editor. Why? One of the most important things when it comes to writing and is clarity. Will the reader be able to understand the points you are trying to make? Is your message coming through loud and clear? If your work is confusing, jumbled, or difficult to read, then your message is not coming through. This is where proofreading and editing come in.
Editing is not just about grammar and spelling, it’s also about sentence structure, tone, flow, formatting, style, and more. Perhaps you are a brand new author, and you need some guidance prior to publishing your work. Editors can offer suggestions that help shape the story, setting, plot, characters, and tone of your book or novel. Some editors work as “book shepherds” who help guide folks through the self-publishing process.
When it comes to content marketing, an editor could help prevent embarrassing blunders, such as a travel agency unwittingly attracting a new clientele with an ad for “erotic” — rather than “exotic” — travel destinations. They can also help keep your company’s message in line with your brand voice.
A good editor is not out to criticize your work, they want to collaborate with you to make your writing the best it can be.
