I’m Heidi Tran. I’m a copywriter who can help you turn words into profits.

How am I different from the others?

My background includes a diverse range of editing and writing experience (business, technical, greeting cards, and promotions, for example) in a variety of subject areas, including usability, design, real estate, healthcare, software, and music, as well as a great deal of multinational and multicultural experience. I ensure that your writing reaches your target audience in the most effective ways possible. In short, I’ll help you find the best way to say just what you wanted to say.

What’s your frustration?

Sometimes a designer, developer, or business person is just having trouble finding the right words. I write or re-work your business materials, sales letters, product descriptions, etc., to make them clear, effective and results-oriented.

Although many people speak fluent English as a second language, it’s much harder to write as fluently in a second language. I work with non-native English speaking entrepreneurs/companies/organizations who want to reach American markets . I help them “Americanize” their business materials and make them more effective in the American English-speaking culture. I also work with non-native English speaking authors, scholars, etc., to clarify their writing in the same way.

People who work in areas such as Alternative Medicine often have very special marketing needs. They know they need ways to continually attract clients, but perhaps they don’t want to be thought of as a “business.” Or maybe words like marketing and selling don’t seem to fit with the values of their practice. I help alternative health practitioners engage their passion for what they do to improve their business results.

Contact me to discuss how I can help you and your business get radical results with words.

About Me

Born to two American Scrabble addicts in a country where English is a foreign language (Viet Nam), I have harnessed my natural obsession with language and words to work for the Good.

After graduating from The Ohio State University, I began my writing and editing career in the healthcare industry, where I wrote and edited a variety of business materials and documentation for medical software. I found every opportunity to use my creative side by writing information pieces for patients, too. I probably drove some of my co-workers crazy with my fanatical red pen, but I also made them smile with the slogans, “team fight songs,” and other pieces I created for them.

In any case, I moved to telecommunications, where I wrote software documentation, developed Web-based training, and created training materials. Gradually, I began to work with an increasing variety of clients who needed a wide range of excellent written materials in order to succeed professionally.

For over twelve years, I have helped large corporations, small organizations, and individuals to find and use their best written words for success in business, technology and academia. My business clients range from small usability/design groups who need good writing to back up their products, to large organizations like the Ohio Department of Transportation, who need to produce entire libraries of training materials.
