Stephanie Losee Consulting

Stories Well Told and Well Sold

“Stephanie Losee is a rare combination in her field: someone who understands complicated business issues and can write about them in a lively, accessible manner. She has an uncanny ability to spot trends in business and the culture and her skills as a communicator cross many genres--authoring books and articles, doing radio, consulting with financial groups, and assisting others in developing their creative messaging. She is always a consummate professional and a delight to work with.”

—Laura Fraser, New York Times-bestselling author

Let me help you:


  • POLISH YOUR MESSAGE
  • I do strategic writing and messaging for corporations and individuals: speeches, ghosted bylined articles and blogs, press releases, white papers, pitch emails, cover letters, and newsletters. As a former writer at Fortune magazine and a former editor at PC Magazine, my specialties are business and tech, but I have a passion for pop culture topics as well.


  • TEACH YOUR TEAM TO WRITE BETTER
  • I teach business writing classes to public relations professionals; give personalized, one-on-one sessions with individuals who want to polish their skills or learn how to grab the attention of the press; and help other writers to climb the next rung in their careers.


  • PUBLISH YOUR BOOK
  • I write and edit book proposals, sample chapters, and book drafts. I can also help you shape your project for sale and get you a literary agent.


  • CREATE A POWERFUL RESUME
  • My first book was about how to make the right impression in your business and social life, including how to write a resume that will get you in the door. With employers receiving hundreds of resumes for every job opening, how are you going to stand out? Let me do it for you.


  • LAUNCH YOUR WEB SITE
  • I write corporate web pages and create personal web sites that will raise your professional profile (just the words, not the code!).

    TESTIMONIALS

    “Stephanie pulled me out of a creative pothole by pinpointing new directions for me to take my current work, "Seriously Green." It's been great having her as a sounding board. She keeps it light and real. She's a natural coach.”

    —Babette Hogan, documentary filmmaker


    “Stephanie is a strategic thinker and a creative writer. She combines business thinking and creative problem solving with the commitment and determination that are necessary to get the job done. Working with her not only was a pleasant and personable experience, but a successful completion, in which she applied her expertise in the publishing industry, and her outstanding writing skills, to get the project done on time and within budget. I highly recommend her and would enjoy the opportunity to work with her again in the future.”

    —Pierre Khawand, Founder and CEO of OnTheGo Technologies, LLC.


    “Stephanie delivered a fantastically useful training series on writing and approaching business media for The Red Consultancy. She is hugely talented journalist and writer who is able to distil her extensive knowledge and expertise into bite-size practical tips on crafting the perfect pitch or press release.”

    —Stuart Yeardsley, public relations executive


    “What a writer! I had the privilege of hiring Stephanie at the New York Post after I had worked alongside her at Fortune -- she's got that rare combo of business smarts and a kicky voice. I feel I am failing if I don't tell you that she's also really, really funny.”

    —Alison Rogers, real estate agent, pundit, and columnist


    “Stephanie helped me to secure two jobs in a tough economy by using her writing skills to hone my query emails and edit my resume to suit each position. She knows how to make your application stand out in a sea of emails, and on both occasions she worked quickly and economically. Her counsel was invaluable.”

    —Lily Peterson, international wine educator and Master of Wine candidate

    • I review Anne Lamott's new novel in the April issue of San Francisco magazine.
    • Fame and Fortune: Currently working on, and shocked to find I’m making headway with, the latter. Partly because of a bit of movement on the former. Perhaps endurance is the key to everything after all.
