Writer & Principal

John Schroeder

If you’ve never used an “outside” writer before, you may not know what to expect. Well, here’s what one brand new client had to say about the first speech I wrote for her…

“This was fantastic. I thought it was going to take a lot more work than it did, but the draft you put together was right on…I look forward to working with you again.”

Another client – a longtime collaborator – said this about my first draft of a speech for his CEO:

“In this instance, John, I didn’t publicize that you wrote the basic speech. On the other hand, I’m not claiming credit for the remarks, either. People can think what they think. As a writer to a writer, I apologize, but as a speechwriter to a speechwriter, we know how it goes. Essentially, ‘we’ wrote this speech.

As you know, though, I always recommend you 1st and foremost when somebody needs a writer…I really appreciate your help. Made a tough stretch tolerable for me.”

The common thread? When you invite me in on a project, you get a problem-solver – not a prima donna. My goal is to help you get the message across, clearly and effectively. And being able to draw on my deep experience as business professional? That’s just a bonus, at no extra charge!
