hi! i'm jillian
author, copywriter, and fractional cmo
As a writer, I believe words have weight. And as a marketer, I know that when the right words are in sync across your business ecosystem, they create a powerful chain reaction.
While most businesses understand this in theory, few understand how to make their words drive the results they actually want.
When your message has:
clarity and conviction,
resonance and relatability,
and consistency and integrity,
It creates those results.
Not just for your marketing and sales, but for the mission and vision behind your brand.
I work with purpose-driven personal brands, small to medium-sized businesses, and nonprofits that have one thing in common: they want to make positive change in the world.
my experience blends global perspectives, storytelling, and business strategy and gives me a unique ability to identify the messaging gaps most people miss.
I have been a writer for 20 years, a conversion copywriter for 6, and a published author for 4.
I believe in the power of storytelling, both as a way to connect on an interpersonal level and on a brand-audience level.
I also believe in creating data-driven campaigns, using your brand and customer values to determine marketing strategies and AI use, and strategically optimizing my clients’ marketing assets so that your marketing is as efficient and effective as humanly possible.
I help businesses create marketing campaigns and copy that sound great, feel compelling, and actually drive results.

about my books
The Trouble with Wings (2021, Burning Soul Press), is a deeply honest travel memoir about having the courage to create a life of your own, and the impossible choices that come with it.
(Inspired by two trips I took around the world, one that led me to myself and the other to my son.)
The Gift of Roots (2026) is the currently-in-progress follow up to The Trouble with Wings that weaves wine making, life in Italy and motherhood with the same unflinching honesty and unexpected insight.
(Inspired by my life in rural Italy over the last 6 1/2 years living and working alongside my wine maker partner and his mom, raising a little boy, and balancing dealing with misogyny with enjoying fabulous gelato)
My historical fantasy series (winter 2025) is set in the Ancient Mediterranean, and pulls from archaeology and obscure mythology to explore personal agency, hope, and the power of choice in the land of the Etruscans
(Inspired by a sailing trip in the southern Mediterranean in 2013 and also by the fact that I now live in a village built on a literal necropolis).
I also contributed to two anthologies, The Rising Sisterhood (2021) and Words and Brushes (2020) availble in major online bookstores.
I hope my words and stories stretch the way you think and the way you see the world around you!
