Nonprofit & Ministry Storytelling
Help People See the Impact of Your Work
I interview the people connected to your mission and turn their experiences into stories your supporters can understand, remember, and share.
Capture an impact story, bring your next newsletter together, or build an ongoing writing partnership. We’ll start with your goals and create writing that helps you stay connected to the people who support your work.
The heart of my work
Impact Stories
Starting at $300
Show how your organization is impacting real people and your community.
I sit down with a participant, volunteer, staff member, or ministry partner, listen to their experience, and shape it into a thoughtful story. Together, we’ll decide where that story belongs and how to share it with care.
A starting story project includes:
- One interview, background review, and a brief planning conversation.
- One polished 700–1,000-word feature story with a headline and selected quotes.
- Two rounds of revisions, including a factual review.
One story, several ways to share it. Your package can also include a shorter newsletter version, an email adaptation, and social captions. We’ll agree on the formats, interview permissions, and full price before work begins.
Newsletter Writing
Starting at $250
Keep supporters connected to your mission.
I help gather your updates and shape them into a clear, personal newsletter. We’ll decide what readers need to know, which stories to feature, and how to invite them to give, volunteer, or get involved.
A starting newsletter project includes:
- A planning conversation and review of your supplied material.
- One short newsletter or newsletter article of 400–700 words.
- Headlines and a clear invitation to respond; subject line and preview text for email delivery.
- Two rounds of revisions.
Longer issues, additional sections, and original interviews are quoted to match the project.
Monthly Writing Partner
Starting at $1,000/month
A writing relationship you can keep coming back to.
We work together each month to identify what needs to be communicated and create the writing to support it. As I get to know your organization, we can keep capturing stories and sharing meaningful updates consistently.
Your partnership includes:
- A monthly planning conversation.
- An agreed mix of stories, newsletters, emails, or social captions.
- Clear deliverables, deadlines, and revision rounds.
- A fixed monthly price based on the scope we choose.
For example, a monthly partnership starting at $1,000 could include interviews and impact stories, newsletter writing, supporter and event emails, social captions, and a practical content calendar. We’ll stay connected through planning conversations, check-ins, and revisions, with the mix of writing shaped around your organization’s priorities. We’ll agree on the scope, deliverables, and deadlines before each month begins.
Additional Support
Need help with a smaller piece or putting your writing to use? We can add:
- Standalone supporter emails and social captions.
- Content calendars and recommendations for sharing your stories.
- Scheduling and publishing approved social content, by agreement.
Social account support is optional and quoted separately, with the platforms, tasks, and posting frequency agreed in advance.
Talk About Your NeedsHow We’ll Work Together
- Choose the focus. We’ll clarify your goals, audience, deliverables, timeline, and price.
- Gather the story. I’ll conduct the agreed interviews and review your background materials.

Your Project, Personally Led
I lead each project and remain your main point of contact. My wife, Tricia Childs, contributes writing and editorial support on selected projects, bringing her experience as a senior copywriter and editor for Word of Life. Her work in ministry stories, newsletters, and ongoing communication complements my focus on interviews and community storytelling. We’ll agree on her involvement when we plan your project.
