Shannon Cheesman
PROFESSIONAL WRITER, EDITOR & COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST
Some words fill space. Others make an impact.
I’m Shannon, and for 30 years I’ve turned rough ideas and half-finished drafts into content that reflects the people behind them.
If your words need to inform, inspire, or move people to action, let’s connect.
Writing, Copy Editing and Content Review for Businesses
Your readers can feel the difference between content that was made with thought and content that was just… made. And that can have the opposite effect of what you intended.
I work with businesses and organizations who value quality and understand that effective communication matters. That includes owners, consultants, organizational leaders, nonprofits, and agencies who want their words to make the right impression.
Real experience, not a shortcut.
Thirty years across journalism, marketing, and business communications means you get someone who has written for high stakes and knows what actually works.
Built around your voice.
Not a generic draft with your name on it. You get content that reflects the best version of you or your brand, written in a voice your audience will recognize and trust.
The same standard, every time.
Whether it’s a single page or a full content library, you get the same careful eye and honest assessment, no matter the size of the project.
Services Overview
Content Auditing & Editorial Review for Businesses
Need an outside perspective? Let me take a look.
I read your content the way your audience does, and give you an honest assessment. Does the messaging have cohesion? Does it sound like you? Is it building trust? Those are the questions worth asking before you publish more. I can evaluate and offer recommendations for:
- Website pages and overall site messaging
- Blog articles and thought leadership content
- Marketing and sales materials, and campaigns
- Business communications, internal documents, and content libraries
$250–$1,500+ depending on scope

Sometimes you just need a fresh set of eyes. I work with:
- Website pages and messaging that need work
- Marketing and sales materials that need cohesion or tightening
- AI-generated drafts that need human refinement
- Articles and blog posts before publication
- Reports and publications for structure and flow
- Long-form writing that could use a deep review

Content Creation for Businesses
Starting from scratch? I can help with that.
When you need content but don’t have the time or headspace to handle it yourself, I can help businesses create:
- Website copy (homepages, about pages, service pages)
- Blog articles and thought leadership pieces
- Marketing and sales content for campaigns, launches, and outreach
- Business communications and internal messaging
- Professional documents and reports
$500–$3,000+ depending on scope
“Writing and editing are a craft. I treat them that way.”
That’s more than a philosophy; it’s the foundation of a decades-long career rooted in newsrooms, corporate strategy, and digital agencies, where getting the words right actually mattered.
I’ve written, reviewed, and revised thousands of pieces of content and I still find it genuinely satisfying work.
