Hastings Communications
Hi, I'm Rachel!
I tell stories that bring people and brands to life.
I’m a writer and communications strategist with a decade of experience ranging from content strategy to copyediting.
I help clients of all types and sizes put their best, most polished foot forward through the written word. I thrive working with a diverse range of clients and especially love helping experts and creatives share their genius with the world.
Services
Whether you’re looking for a feature article, a website revamp, or an email campaign, I’m here to help.
Feature Writing
Looking for a high-quality feature article for your alumni magazine, website, or publication? I bring excellent interview chops and a strong editorial eye to the table.
Content Marketing
Ready to take your brand to the next level? I produce high-quality, SEO-optimized blogs, articles, white papers, and e-books are powerful assets. Need a content strategy? I can help with that, too.
Website Copywriting
Your website is the public face of your organization. Make sure it’s a friendly one with strong copy that speaks to your readers.
Email Marketing
We all get dozens of emails a day. Whether you’re sending out an organizational newsletter or a sales sequence, it’s more important than ever that your message stands out.
Social Media
Trying to figure out a social media strategy that will work for your organization? I’ve worked with nonprofits and universities on social media strategies that engage audiences without falling for every fad.
Copyediting
Don’t let misspellings or stray punctuation ruin your customers’ perceptions of you. I’m an experienced copyeditor comfortable in Chicago, AP, APA, and MLA styles (but I’m always Team Oxford Comma).
