Does your impact have a voice?

With over 15 years of experience working in social services, I understand how easily communications and marketing can get sidelined by the daily demands of running a nonprofit.

At The Time to Write, I bridge that gap. I craft compelling, mission-driven newsletters and content that rally stakeholders, inform communities, and promote internal connections. With a background in human services and communications, I am already familiar with your audiences and ensure the communities you serve are represented with the respect, sensitivity, and authenticity they deserve.

You make the difference—I’ll take the time to write about it.

  • "Working together on the ‘co-op/credit union awareness campaign’ in 2024 was a highlight for me. Tara took the reins and produced a complete marketing package — including press releases, social media clips, poster, and email threads — that was not only creative but incredibly effective in spreading the word. Tara’s approach is thoughtful and engaging, and she has a knack for distilling the essence of a project into communications that truly connect. I’m was grateful for Tara’s energy, clarity, and the genuine care she brought to my project. Anyone looking for a communications professional with heart and real expertise is lucky to have her on their team."

  • "Tara is amazing to work with. With very few details, she composed an engaging silent auction prize request letter for potential donors. I was so happy with the results. Tara captured the essence of what I wanted to convey in terms of what my charity means to me and the impact that it has on the community. I would strongly recommend Tara to any person or business needing a communications professional."

    —Jimmy Lapointe, Founder, I Heart Dads

  • "Working with Tara was a delight. We did not have an internal communications staff person and we benefited greatly from her knowledge of our work, her timeliness with support and task completion and her clear and friendly written and verbal communications. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together again!"
