Asheville, North Carolina · Working remotely across the US

Words that sound like you and actually get the click.

Slow Morning Co. is a one-person writing studio. I write the homepage, the emails and the sales page for small businesses whose offer is good but whose words are getting in the way.

  • Writing for small businesses since 2015
  • Studio founded March 2019
  • English & conversational Spanish

Four ways I usually help

Most projects are one of these. If yours is a mix, say so in your email and I will quote the mix.

  • Website & landing page copy

    Homepages and sales pages that explain the offer in plain English, in the order a reader actually needs it.

    Homepage · About · Services · Sales page

  • Email sequences

    Welcome, launch and win-back emails written to be opened, not deleted. Sent as copy docs your platform can take as-is.

    Welcome · Launch · Win-back

  • Brand voice & taglines

    Names, taglines and a one-page voice guide the whole team can follow, so the next person who writes still sounds like you.

    Naming · Tagline · Voice guide

  • Copy audit

    A line-by-line pass on what you already have, with rewrites you can paste in and a short note on why each one changed.

How it works

A short, unmysterious process

No discovery decks, no ten-step onboarding. Four steps, and you know the price before anything starts.

  1. You write to me

    Tell me what you sell, who it is for and what is not working. Links to what you have now help most.

  2. We talk for 30 minutes

    A call to hear how you describe the work out loud. That is usually where the real copy is hiding.

  3. Scope and quote

    A written scope with a fixed price, a timeline and how many rounds of revision are included. You approve it before I start.

  4. Draft, revise, hand off

    You get a draft, we revise it together, and the final copy arrives in a document your developer or platform can use directly.

Marin Kessler · Asheville, NC

Everything on this site and everything sent from this address is written by Marin Kessler, a copywriter working out of Asheville, North Carolina. Slow Morning Co. is the name the studio works under — there is no agency behind it and no one else on the account.

I grew up in Columbus, Ohio, and spent 2015 to 2019 freelancing there, mostly for local shops and service businesses who needed someone to make their offer make sense. I moved to Asheville and opened the studio in March 2019. Since then the work has been the same and the clients have been small on purpose: founders, makers, studios and practices in the United States, all of it remote.

I read every draft out loud before I send it. If a sentence is hard to say, it is hard to trust — that is most of the method.

Clarity is a kindness.

If it bores you to write it, it bores them to read it.
