CREATIVE Director. Copywriter. STRATEGIST. storyteller. brand BUILDER. POET. HUMAN-LED AI USER.
Hi, my name is Charlotte Seley. I have nearly 20 years of copywriting experience, 7 years of leadership/management, and an MFA in Creative Writing. I’m available for freelance, contract, and consulting work, if you need to turn a loose origin story into a unique brand identity and personality; develop an entire product description page that converts; directs creative teams with empathy and expertise; and more. I am a firm defender of the em-dash (in moderation) and the Oxford comma (always, no excuses).
