ABOUT

hey there!

I'M MERCEDES KILLEEN,

a Niagara-based multi-hyphenate. I’m a professional author, freelance writer, poetry editor, and marketer.

I’m here to help you, as a business owner or author, reclaim your time while I transform your written content into a business acquisition tool.

WRITING & MARKETING SERVICES

for innovative business owners & poetry authors.

The key to marketing anything is crafting a compelling narrative. That’s why I’m here to help you with…

• Freelance writing: Boost your ROI and free up your time while I write words that turn your ideal readers into loyal fans.
• Poetry editing: Get a second set of (professional) eyes on that manuscript you’ve been staring at for months.
  
• Social media management: Say goodbye to guesswork and DIYing & hello to professional guidance and proven strategies.
• Content marketing: Focus on serving your customers while I take care of drawing in new ones.
• Copywriting: Bring the flair of creative writing (that converts) to your marketing content.
• Digital marketing strategy & consulting: Master your online presence and reach a wider audience with 1-on-1 expert guidance.

…and more!

A little more about me...as an award-winning professional author for over 14 years, I’ve been featured in publications such as Acta Victoriana and The UC Review, among others. My work centres mainly around mental health/illness, and I’ve even guest lectured at the prestigious University of Toronto on the writing process.

EXPERIENCE

From 2018-2021, I worked with clients across the globe as a digital content writer and poetry editor, helping them take their written content to the next level. And now I’m back, having perfected another skill up my sleeve: marketing.

MARKETING

“Mercedes is a brilliant, kind, and thoughtful editor. She is the type of editor an author needs - she helped me bring my project to the highest standard of excellence possible but at the same time, she has a way of helping you believe in your vision through her editing. She did that for me. She really helps your work stand out and come alive! I absolutely recommend Mercedes as an editor, writer, and digital content developer.”

-Jerome Bailey Jr., Author of Liberation
