The story of Katey Ruth

Born in Wisconsin and raised in the north suburbs of Chicago, I have now launched my freelancing journey.  Beginning in my childhood journals to writing for 5-star reviews, I am now achieving my writing dreams.

I currently live outside of Rockford with my Fiancé and am obsessed with my two rescue dogs, Leela and Dooley.  

What is the benefit of a copy or content writer?

Your brand’s voice is a huge determining factor of your success.  A copywriter can help you build your voice and image in order to boost your success with clients. Copywriters, like myself, are also knowledgeable in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to boost your message.

When looking for high-quality content for your business, it is important to look to skilled copywriters to create results-driven online content.  Strongly written content can help drive conversions to your website, create leads, and help create a new image for your company.
