Tales as old as time.
Writing is one of the oldest forms of communication we have. It is an essential part of our everyday lives.
Think about it. In some way, you write something EVERY day. Maybe you are writing a letter to an old friend. Or, composing an important, time- and information-sensitive e-mail. Maybe sending a text message or making a post on social media. Or, you could be touching up your resume for a potentially life-changing job interview.
Writing can be a form of frustration for a lot of us. Most people fall into one of three categories in terms of writing ability:
The "Natural" Writer: Some are just born to communicate with the written word. The talent comes easy for them, almost in ways that are difficult to explain. If they only had a dime for every time they hear "I wish I could write like that..."
The "Developing" Writer: Maybe not quite as naturally gifted as the Natural, but a love of writing keeps them at their keyboard, constantly working and practicing the craft until they become pretty good at it.
The "Frustrated" Writer: Dominated by writer's block. These writers look at the prospect of the most simple of writing tasks as a chore, as though a giant paperweight is strapped to their back. Or, perhaps they simply don't have the time to devote to the writing project, no matter its importance. But inevitably, it brings us back to the fact that most of us, in some form, are faced with having to communicate via the written word on a daily basis.
Writing is the name of our game!
What we do at Write Team Services is try help alleviate those frustrations for you. We lean on the most basic and foundational skills developed over a lifetime of writing to provide you with quality content that helps tell YOUR story and complete those writing projects that are weighing you down.
Simply put, everything we do here at Write Team Services has its beginning in some form of writing. It's literally the name of our game!

GRANT WRITING
Grant writing is the process of creating a detailed proposal to request funding from government agencies, foundations, or other organizations. It involves clearly outlining a project’s goals, objectives, budget, and the intended impact to persuade funders to support the initiative. Successful grant writing requires thorough research, clear communication, and alignment with the funder's priorities and requirements. We begin the process of grant writing with you by collaborating to identify potential funding opportunities for your school district or nonprofit that align with the goals of the project. Next, Write Team Services prepares a detailed proposal, including a narrative that explains your project’s purpose, methodology, budget, and anticipated outcomes. The proposal will then be submitted to the funder, often followed by revisions or additional documentation, and we are with you every step of the way until a final decision is made regarding approval of your project.
GHOSTWRITING
Ghostwriting is the practice of writing content for someone else who is credited as the author. The ghostwriter (Write Team Services) produces material such as books, articles, speeches, emails, letters, or reports, while remaining anonymous or unacknowledged. The process of ghostwriting starts with a collaboration with our client to understand the client's project’s scope, goals, and target audience. We often conduct interviews, research, and gather background information to capture the client's voice and vision. After gathering sufficient material, we draft the content, ensuring it aligns with the client's tone and desired message. Multiple rounds of revisions and feedback follow to fine-tune the work and ensure the client is satisfied. Once the final version is approved, the client takes full credit for the written piece.
WEBSITE CONTENT MANAGEMENT
Website content management involves organizing, creating, and updating the information and media displayed on a client's website to ensure it remains relevant and engaging. It includes tasks such as adding new content, editing existing pages, and managing multimedia elements like images and videos. This process often uses a Content Management System (CMS) to streamline and facilitate content updates and organization. Write Team Services works with our client to ensure that their website’s content is accurate, accessible, and aligned with the overall goals and branding of their organization.
SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT MANAGEMENT
Social media content management involves planning, creating, and scheduling posts across various social media platforms to maintain an active online presence. It includes crafting engaging content that aligns with the brand's voice and goals, as well as monitoring interactions and responding to comments or messages. The process also involves analyzing performance metrics to assess the effectiveness of posts and adjust strategies as needed. Write Team Services will assist our client with providing consistent, relevant, and engaging content that helps build and sustain a strong social media presence.
PRESS RELEASES
A press release is a written communication used to announce news, events, or developments to the media and public. Its purpose is to generate interest and coverage by providing key information in a clear, concise format. Press releases are often used to promote product launches, company updates, partnerships, or significant achievements. They help organizations shape their public image and control how their news is presented to the audience. The process of writing a press release begins by crafting a clear and engaging headline that captures the essence of the news. The body of the release includes a strong lead paragraph summarizing the key points, followed by supporting details such as quotes, data, and context to make the story compelling. Finally, the release is concluded with contact information and a brief company description, ensuring it is formatted for easy distribution to a client's media outlets.
BLOGS
A blog is an online platform where individuals or organizations publish written content on various topics, often in the form of articles or posts. It can serve personal, educational, or commercial purposes, allowing authors to share ideas, opinions, or updates with a broad audience. Blogs typically promote reader engagement through comments, likes, and social sharing. When writing a blog with a client, we begin by discussing the topic and tone with the client, conduct research, and craft the post. After submitting the draft, we make revisions based on the client's feedback to ensure it aligns with their voice and objectives, while they receive full credit for the work.
RESUMES
The goal of a resume is to provide a concise overview of an individual’s skills, experience, and qualifications to potential employers. A well-written resume showcases the candidate’s strengths and achievements, positioning them as a strong fit for the job they are applying for. A well-written resume will include important sections such as contact information, an objective or summary of your career, your job or career experience, your education, your skills, and sections that include certifications, awards, etc. Write Team Services helps you compile this information and put it together in a concise presentation to present to potential employers.
AD SCRIPTS
An ad script is a written plan for a promotional message designed to capture the audience's attention and communicate key information about a product, service, or brand. It outlines the dialogue, narration, and visual elements, ensuring a cohesive and persuasive presentation. The script aims to engage viewers, highlight benefits, and prompt them to take a desired action, such as making a purchase or visiting a website. The process for writing an ad script involves first identifying the target audience and key message, then crafting a compelling narrative that effectively conveys the product's benefits and engages viewers. After drafting the script, it is refined through revisions to ensure clarity, impact, and alignment with the client's overall marketing strategy.
GENERAL FREELANCE WRITING
Freelance writing involves creating written content for various clients on a project-by-project basis. This content may include articles, blog posts, marketing materials, and technical documents. Successful freelance writing requires strong writing skills, the ability to meet deadlines, and effective communication with clients to deliver content that meets their needs and expectations.
TUTORING
Tutoring involves providing personalized guidance and support to individuals seeking to improve their writing skills. Write Team Services can help students understand and apply writing principles, such as grammar, structure, and style, tailored to their specific needs and goals. We offer feedback on written work, assist with brainstorming and organization, and help develop effective writing strategies. The aim is to enhance the student's writing ability, boost confidence, and achieve better results in their academic or professional writing tasks.
