Everything begins

and ends with story.

Tell a good one.

STORY ON STORY

STORY OFF THE PRESS

STORY IN BUSINESS

STORY FOR THOUGHT LEADERSHIP

STORY JUST BECAUSE

stories shape humanity

Where we’ve been, where we’re going, and who we become along the way.

How, then, can we approach story in such a way that pushes us beyond limitations? Past the fringed space of self into creative dreamscapes revealing untold possibility.

What narratives can we share to disrupt belief? What can we say to awaken the uninspired or clarify promise for the doubters?

This is my obsession: Finding unshakeable words.

everything

Much of my work revolves around collaborating with and writing about extraordinary individuals, businesses, and organizations who champion growth, connection, and the pursuit of excellence. Those committed to reaching others by sharing stories that educate, entertain, and inspire are the ones remembered and celebrated. Whether in the board room or scaling Everest, I’m curious about what drives people, how they overcome challenges, and what lessons and stories they have for the rest of us.

WHAT SETS ME APART?

With nearly two decades of experience as a marketing and PR director, editor, journalist, copywriter, and a penchant for psychology, my background leverages diversity and versatility. Combining such unique perspectives allows me to consider a project from multiple angles, requirements, and objectives. This ultimately produces polished work with greater efficacy. And style.

Jaylyn is an awesome writer/editor. She works tirelessly to get the job completed. She is very goal-oriented and ensures that the product that is delivered is in its highest quality.

I have had the professional pleasure of collaborating with Jaylyn on a number of projects over the past two years. What I value above all else is Jaylyn’s willingness to go down the proverbial rabbit hole required for transformational messaging, and her innate ability to expose opportunity for brands through listening that only occurs at a frequency not often recognized by most. Jaylyn, in my estimation, is a jazz musician who understands the rhythm and pace of the clients she works with and converts her understanding into powerful and thoughtful pieces of content and brand messages that have a beating heart, all the while providing an enjoyable client-provider experience. I highly recommend Jaylyn for projects and companies that want to breathe meaning into their overall market strategy.

Tony Vespa

Jaylyn’s work copyediting educational content written by multiple authors for a major college textbook publisher was top-notch. She conscientiously sought feedback and hit her deadlines. We will hire her again.
David Dietz

Project Manager, O'Donnell Learn (Macmillan Publishing project)

Jaylyn is an amazing copywriter, who can quickly and easily assess our needs, often asking the questions we had not considered. When given a project’s parameters, she dives in and immerses herself in research to make sure she is on point, no matter the topic. From B2B to B2C, we can count on Jaylyn to write exactly what we need on time and on budget.
