for coaches, consultants and small business owners who know what they want to say, but get stuck in the writing and editing process
welcome to CopyLab
hands-on editing for your marketing collateral
(and much, much more)
I see you.
Writing your own copy, second-guessing the format, the words, the point of it all.
Emails.
Social posts.
Web copy.
It’s a lot. I know.
“Working with Marnee was a game-changer! After spending 3 months agonizing over an email series for a big launch, I turned to her for feedback and editing on my “shitty first drafts.” I was hesitant to ask because in the past, copywriters have not been able to capture my authentic voice and their suggestions sounded canned. Marnee got me. With just a few edits, my emails sounded sharp, catchy, and conveyed my real personality. Needless to say, I surpassed my goal for my launch.”

You want powerful marketing.
The kind of copywriting that gets people to take action.
And you just want it DONE. Yesterday.
But what you need is a fresh pair of eyes on it from someone who knows this stuff and a safe, non-judgey place to ask how to make things better.
Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to show all of your writing to someone who will make it shine, make it strong and NOT make you feel like an idiot?
“Marnee has edited several emails for me, as well as my website copy. I wasn’t sure I’d still sound like “me” if she edited my words. I was so relieved with the outcome. Not only was it well written, but it DID sound like me! Marnee has an amazing way with words and can transform ideas into something that flows beautifully with the added bonus of taking the reader to the desired action. I’d recommend her to anyone who is stuck with any marketing copy, hands down.”
I get it. I’m here.

“I reached out to Marnee for help in editing a sales page. I honestly thought it was pretty good but this was an important offer so I gave it to Marnee for review. I couldn’t have been happier with her feedback. She suggested subtle but impactful changes. These were changes I never would have thought of but she captured the emotion of what I was trying to say absolutely perfectly. Marnee’s edits made me so much more confident in my sales page and I was happy to send it out to potential clients. You won’t regret working with Marnee and I recommend her without hesitation. She’s smart and fun to work with and she knows what to ask to understand your business and your voice quickly.”
FAQs
Is CopyLab worth the monthly cost?
If you were to hire me, you’d be paying at least double the monthly fee to have my eyes and hands on your work. This ensures you have the help when you need it. Even if you don’t have something that needs a review every month, your copywriting skills will improve each week and you’ll be joining a community of other small business owners who understand the value of transparent and powerful marketing.
What if I don’t have extra time to dedicate to this each month?
There is no time commitment on your end. At the very least, if you only submit your work for feedback and edits, you’re getting more than your money’s worth. The other stuff? Cherries on top.
I’m already a great copywriter and create regular content. Is this right for me?
If you don’t pay someone to review and edit your content, there's tons of room for improvement. It's impossible to *see* our own writing after a while. This is a cost-efficient way to hire a personal editor.
What counts as a “piece of marketing collateral”?
Some examples:
Website ABOUT page
Website SERVICES page
Website HOME page
Monthly newsletter (500 words or more)
Weekly email (less than 500 words each, up to 2 emails)
Email sequence (less than 500 words each, up to 2 emails)
Social media posts (less than 100 words, up to 3 posts)
What’s the subscription commitment?
CopyLab is month-to-month. Every month you’ll get:
Access to a veteran copywriter to edit your work (that’s me!), 2 pieces of copy per month
Guaranteed opportunities to sharpen your writing skills
Exclusive live Q & A opportunities
Over-the-shoulder demos
Live co-writing sessions x2 per week
What if I need more than two edits per month?
Extra edits are $75 per piece. Need something else? Just ask!
What does an edit look like?
An edit is anywhere from 2 rounds to 5, depending on what’s needed for your copy.
Round 1 - It starts with your very rough draft (AKA "Shitty first draft" or SFD), I suggest changes (usually a lot of changes)
Round 2 - You accept/reject my changes based on what you're comfortable/not comfortable with or if I've misunderstood something (it HAS to always sound like you and this might take time for me to learn, but I'm usually pretty quick.)
Round 3 - You resubmit. I give it another go with more suggestions.
Round 4 - You accept/reject
Round 5 - I give it a final read
What if I don’t like working this way?
If you join then realize CopyLab is not for you, you can cancel your subscription at any time.
I’d rather hire you to just write the stuff for me. Is that an option?
It can be! It depends on the timing and job. Just ask.
I need help with SEO. Can you do that for me?
SEO is a whole different beast, but I can help you move the dial! If you’ve got the words you are struggling to incorporate, editing will certainly help.
What if I’m just looking for accountability?
Then you’ve come to the right place! Each month, you’ll be able to submit 2 pieces of marketing collateral for edits. That’ll keep your ass in gear if you’re finding you’re not creating content each month. Nothing rolls over, so you won’t want to let it go to waste. Need more? Join my bi-weekly co-writing zooms for even more accountability and inspiration and maybe even more feedback, if you need it.
Just $397/mo
CopyLab is a month-to-month subscription
There are no hidden costs and you can cancel at any time. You’ll be charged monthly.
Once you join, you’re locked into this monthly price. You keep your price even if I raise it and you’ll have access to anything I add later at no extra cost. (Unless you cancel, of course.)
This means if the price goes up, you'll get the subscription for a lower rate than anyone else, you’ll never pay more unless you cancel, and you’ll be grandfathered (or grandmothered) into the early days of my one-stop shop for improving your business and turning your customers into raving fans.
All of that is great. But why should you consider this service with ME?
I’m a health coach turned copywriter for small business owners who think they suck at writing. I’ve got over 20 years of writing experience under my belt and I’m obsessed with the craft of marketing copy. I’ll help you find your voice, while making sure you’re becoming your own best copywriter. When I’m not on my laptop, you can find me dancing to my favorite 80s tunes while cooking without a recipe.
“I could tell I was working with a total pro. Marnee was immediately able to cut through the fluff in my writing and get to the heart of what I was actually trying to say. She created a space for my own voice, and guided me to deconstruct and build it back even better. I found a treasure in Marnee. Just having that extra set of professional eyes on your work is incredibly important as you grow your brand - and also, on top of all this, she’s really fun to work with.”
