About Conor Makem
I tell stories and I’d like to tell yours.
Whether you need advertising copy that matches your customer or you’ve written your first novel and you want it edited, I can help. The right words create the tone that determines how you’re perceived. Do you need to ensure everything is grammatically perfect, or would you prefer a more conversational voice? I’ve written everything from cruise brochures and acceptance speeches to investigative newspaper series, songs, website content and business bios.
Let me help you find your message.
