Amy Lemley

Marketing Copywriter and Web Content Specialist

United States

You have a Big Idea. You want the world to know. But words sometimes fail you.

—What should I say about my product/service/organization?

—How can I use SEO to turbocharge my website?

—What if I'm too braggy or boring or wordy on social media or in marketing emails?

—What if I come up empty (again) when it's time for my next blog post or newsletter?

Don't have the answers? It doesn't matter. Give up and get ready to share your powerful marketing message with the right audience—in words they understand and will act upon—without ever writing a thing. Get Amy Lemley.

I'm a professional copywriter. I learn your language. I learn theirs. I write the words that make your point, persuade your audience, and help you meet your mark.

Get me to write websites, landing pages, case studies, blog posts, ebooks, LinkedIn and Facebook profiles and posts, product descriptions and catalog entries, newsletters, brochures, press releases, white papers, grant proposals, nonfiction books, value propositions, mission and vision statements, and anything else you need to get right.
