A note from managing partner Loren M. Blinde, PhD
A couple of years ago, my mom ran into my third-grade teacher. Mrs. D’Amario – who was, and remains, the favorite teacher of every single student in my class – remembered me. (In the interest of full disclosure, you should know that she remembers every student she has ever had.)
Where the story gets interesting, though, is in what she said next: “I remember Loren. What a writer! What is she doing now?”
My mom: “She’s a writer.”
Of course.
I don’t know what I could have written at the age of eight that was memorable. But while I was dreaming of becoming a ballerina, a scientist, or a big band conductor, my third-grade teacher had my vocation pegged. And you know what? She was right. I’m delighted to have the opportunity each day to help my clients energize their communications and get results.
When you hire me, you get the writing and research expertise of an English professor combined with the marketing savvy of a creative entrepreneur. I know how to analyze an audience and design written content that gets results.
Unlike many copywriters in the marketplace, I bring a strong academic background to the craft. After earning a PhD in English from the University of California, Los Angeles, I worked as a college English professor and a grant writer before launching Writing Power full time in 2008.

Loren Blinde is one of those rare professionals who has the ability to not only map out content strategies that align with both business needs and customer experience, but also to materialize that strategy into top-notch content for digital and traditional projects. I have worked with Loren for well over a decade, during which she has helped with everything from website content audits and migration projects, to multipage corporate reports, to small social media posts. Her work has always been excellent. And throughout that time, I have realized that I can always trust her to provide the most insightful, professional, and relevant content needs. .

I’ve worked with Loren over the past two years on a variety of client projects. She is a first-rate, extremely gifted, and highly trusted content producer and strategist. All her work products hit the bull’s-eye in terms of being results-focused and results-producing because she innately understands what target audiences need to know to make a decision. Not all writers can parse and shape content that gets right to the heart of the matter. Loren can and does, consistently. Hire her and you’ll understand – and then you’ll hire her again and again!

-Michael J. Chiaramonte, MBA
President, MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center
As the publisher and editor-in-chief of an online news publication, Intelligence Community News, that covers the marketplace for goods and services sold to the U.S. Intelligence Community, I was looking for a talented, responsible, savvy, hard-working writer/reporter/editor who could take on most of the day-to-day editorial responsibilities (so I could focus on other matters).
Loren Blinde, of Writing Power, has been a “god-send” to me because she has capably stepped into my shoes and done an absolutely outstanding job of picking up a hundred tasks and doing each of them excellently. I could not have asked for a better writing consultant. You can’t go wrong with Loren!

She listens to your needs and can easily understand and fill in the blanks to produce great copy for your business. Her solid copywriting skills and her business know-how truly delivers copy that targets your audience. Loren recognizes the importance of writing for a business, which comes through in her work.
In addition to a great end product, working with Loren was a complete pleasure. I feel it’s hard to find people these days that “get it” and “get it” across the board. Loren is one of those people. She has an intellect that goes beyond a studied skill.
Now I just have to come up with another project, so I can work with Loren again. I would definitely recommend Loren Blinde and Writing Power for your copywriting needs.
