Connecting people with the power of words

I’m Marissa Polselli, and I help people who are at a crossroads find the words they need to express themselves with joy and authenticity.


I've been in love with words since I got my first library card at the age of four. I believe in their power, and beauty, and magic. I believe in their ability to transform lives. And I believe in helping people discover the joy of finding the words that will illuminate their voice.


Maybe you’re a business owner looking to connect with clients on a new level through blogs and website copy, or a new entrepreneur passionate about establishing your voice and message. Maybe you’re a student or recent graduate eager to position yourself optimally on LinkedIn to gain a foothold in your field, or a professional who needs a resume to highlight transferable skills as you return to the workplace or switch careers. Maybe you’re a speaker excited to build your platform with a speaker kit, or an author who can’t wait to bring your work to life with the help of a trusted ghostwriter or editor.


Whatever your new beginning, I look forward to helping you give it a voice.

“It’s a joy – and a relief – to work with a content developer who can capture exactly what you’re trying to say to site visitors, in an authorial voice that sounds like you….She took our one slightly rambling conversation and crafted it into clear, inviting, compelling copy for my home, about, and services pages and a short and long form bio, freeing me to put my energy into the coaching and workshop development that I do best. She is easy to work with and delivers what she says she will, when she says she will…Inviting Marissa and her magical wordsmithing to be part of your support team is unquestionably a solid, helpful business decision."
