Copywriting Services

Do you need web copy, brochures, blog posts or other copywriting services? Let me help you get YOUR destination on their bucket list! I specialize in web copy with a sense of place.

Today’s travelers are looking for destinations with personality. They’re looking for the authentic, the unique. They’re shopping for experiences, not souvenirs. Same place different scenery just doesn’t cut it anymore. They’re searching for a sense of place.

In today’s competitive outdoor travel industry, businesses need to stand out from the competition. What makes your business unique?

As an interpretive storyteller and nature photographer, I’ve spent a lifetime turning people on to just what makes a destination special. How do I do this? I  draw attention to the often overlooked details that make a place exceptional. I  tell stories that touch hearts. Most of all, I  share my passion for place. It’s contagious. Wouldn’t you like me to do this for your business?

I can help you articulate your vision and show just why potential customers should choose you. Let my voice help your voice be heard.

Copywriting services I offer include web content, social media, website auditing, marketing materials and much more. Contact me for a free 30-minute consultation on how we can work together to make your business grow.

About Ramblingranger

 

Is your business connected to travel or the natural world? Are you looking for a writer or photographer for blogs, newsletters, articles, or web content? Let’s connect. I’m Dianne Milliard, a seasonal park ranger who has spent 24 seasons working in Wrangell-St. Elias, Denali, and Death Valley National Parks.

I have really enjoyed my time with the Park Service, helping visitors understand why our special places are so special and helping to inspire them to love and care for them. I want to continue to do that, but  I need to reach a wider audience. I’m off on a new adventure now, a rambling ranger looking for rewarding and creative work that allows me to share my love of our public lands with others.

I’ve worn many hats over the years in addition to rangering. I’ve been a tour guide – The 2000 Lonely Planet Guide to Alaska mentioned me by name as THE person to tour the Kennecott National Historic Landmark with. I’ve been a museum caretaker. I’ve been co-owner of an artist’s co-op. I have worked in nearly every aspect of the tourism business, in places as far-flung as the Florida Keys to the Colorado Rockies to Hawaii. One of the most rewarding projects I’ve ever done was running my own photography business, Wrangell Mountain Scenics. I marketed notecards, postcards, and prints of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.

I live in McCarthy, Alaska, a tiny community deep in the heart of the Wrangells. I’ve lived here over 20 years, on the edge of the wilderness.  Although I have spent winters here in the past, I’m building my own house now and it is not ready for winter yet.  There are too many beautiful places in the world to spend ALL your life in just one, so I’m traveling, learning about and getting to know other landscapes.
