About

My name is Sarah Byam, and I’m a communications advocate. That means I work with words to build understanding between people. I work with businesses, non-profit organizations, and individuals. I love what I do.

For the whole of my working life, I’ve made my living as a writer and communicator. I’ve written songs and poetry, short stories, novels, comic books and scripts for movies and television. I’ve done news articles, features, interviews, white papers, grant writing, RFPs, proposals, manuals, web content, advertising, business collateral, brochures, sales sheets, product copy and catalogues.

Since 2000, most of my work hasn’t had my name on it. I’ve partnered with new writers to make their first books shine; with small businesses to craft their identities and increase visibility. I’ve worked with charities and non-profits to create proposals and draft plans to further their missions. I’ve done cookbooks and catalogues, menus and posters, book proposals, television proposals and series research, web campaigns and correspondence. I am at ease with the requirements of government agencies, and can translate technical information into simply understood language.

The first step is listening. I make no assumptions. I ask questions until I understand you and your project. That project may be a business plan, a speech, a marketing campaign, a draft for a non-profit, a technical manual, a biography or a hundred other possibilities.

What’s your project? What’s standing in the way of expressing your precise intentions?

Let’s find the answers together.
