Work with me
I write for organizations that are doing something worth documenting properly.
- Mission and organizational writing
- Newsletters, appeals, reports — the storytelling that makes a reader care about work happening far away from them. I've done this for Carry Them Ministries, Call to Obedience Ministry Nigeria, and H.O.P.E. USA.
- Policy and governance documents
- Constitutions, bye-laws, operational frameworks, proposals. The unglamorous writing that decides how an institution behaves when nobody is watching. Most recently, the full governance suite for G4G Cooperative, a member-owned financial institution.
- Ghostwriting
- Essays, columns, and long-form published under your name. The argument is yours; the sentences are mine. I don't need the credit and I don't discuss the work.
What all of these fail at is the same thing: vagueness. A newsletter that could describe any organization. A policy that gestures at a rule instead of closing the door. An argument that never quite commits. I write to be precise enough to be inconvenient.
I work best with people who know what they want said and need help saying it exactly — and with institutions whose governing documents need to shut loopholes rather than wave at them.
How to start
Email me at gershomchoice@yahoo.com with what you need and roughly when you need it. I'll tell you within two days whether I'm the right person and what it would cost. If you'd rather work through a platform, I'm on Upwork and Fiverr.
