Insightful Writing Services
I’m Joanne
I am a writer and storyteller for hire.
I will work collaboratively with you to write and edit your story until it shines.
Your story is outstanding. It deserves to be told well.
Writing has always been a big part of who I am. After recently being let go due to company re-structuring, I felt the time was now or never to make writing an even bigger part of my life.
Words on Point, Insightful Writing Services is the result.
I work with individuals and businesses to develop and write their story. Whether it be a personal memoir, web content for a business, blogs or advertorial copy, my process is the same. I collaborate with you to turn your ideas into your story.
This means we talk – a lot.
In the beginning I will ask you a lot of questions. It will seem like I am interviewing you. In fact, that is exactly what I am doing!
As the writing progresses, we will talk some more and work together to fine tune your story.
When the writing is done, I hope I have made your story shine.

My story, your story and
eight promises
I have been writing for a long time.
Most recently, I worked for a daily newspaper and wrote curriculum-based programs for use in the classroom. Along with this came the associated marketing campaigns, web copy and promotional material.
The curriculum development skills arose from my work as a developmental editor and curriculum developer for various educational publishing companies and from my experience as a classroom teacher. But, I was writing long before that.
