“I Write The Stuff You Don’t Want To”
What I do
I know first-hand how hard it is for creatives and businesses to promote themselves. How do you strategize content that stands out in the marketplace in a way that doesn’t feel like you’re being an arrogant jerk or give you that icky, slimy feeling?
Allow me to become your professional hype woman. There’s nothing I love more than making sure that great people and ideas get the attention they deserve.
I’ll work with you to strategize and create whatever it is that you’re avoiding: bios, blurbs, social media posts, articles, and more. Like it says above, I write the stuff you don’t want to so that you can focus on creating what brings you joy.

PromotionaL Texts/Articles/Blogs
I write articles on a broad range, broaching topics from animal sex lives to rompers for men. This option purchases one 1,000-word article from me about the topic of your choice (rates subject to negotiation for shorter or longer articles). This can include fun creative pieces, blog writing, and any personal articles about yourself and your work to submit to industry trades or those publications that want to post an article about you, but you have to do it yourself.

TESTIMONIALS
“I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience working with Ali Shields on my journey to potentially make my film a reality. Ali's expertise and dedication has played a huge role in shaping my project and significantly enhancing its potential for success. She crafted a brilliant query letter that not only captured the essence of my film and the personal experiences that inspired it, but also showcased its unique selling points. Her ability to distill the essence of my story into a compelling and concise letter was endlessly impressive to me. The query letter she provided me was not only professionally written but also tailored to resonate with producers, making it an invaluable asset in the pursuit of getting my film noticed.
Beyond her excellent query letter, Ali went above and beyond by providing insightful and actionable feedback on my script. Her keen eye for detail and constructive criticism helped me identify areas for improvement. Working with Ali Shields was not just a professional collaboration but a partnership built on trust, communication, and shared passion for storytelling. Her commitment to excellence and her ability to craft the query letter and improve the script itself are a testament to her skills as a writer and consultant. I wholeheartedly recommend Ali Shields to anyone seeking a dedicated and talented professional to guide them through the intricacies of the film industry. With Ali's expertise, you can be confident that your project is in capable hands, and she will do the writing that writers fear doing. Thank you, Ali, for your outstanding work and unwavering support!” - Wen Powers, award winning screenwriter
