About

My name is Maria E. Ciccone

I’m a former English teacher turned copywriter and creativity coach, passionate about helping brands connect with people through clear, compelling language.I specialize in the craft of writing, the art of persuasion, and master curriculum & coaching to teach, inspire, and sell.

writing

My writing practice and professional work has encompassed writing in many forms, genres, and scenarios, from Academia to full-time freelancing.

I love writing rhetorically for digital and print media of all kinds. I write professionally for online marketing and advertising. My passion projects are ongoing, and include writing for my blog, for classes I teach, for a variety of creative projects underway for editing and eventual publication.

Storytelling

What would you consider to be the higher experiences of telling your story? Better client response? A good grade in a class? Career growth? A sense of completion?

However simple, however urgent, whether for business or for personal reasons, by opening our eyes to our stories, we see and appreciate those of others.

My role as a storyteller is simply an ongoing exploration of the discipline, the ecstasy, the relief of narrative. Both meditation and writing work together.

They respond to our impulse within to tell and create stories. We are the beauty of the art itself.

CURRICULUM

Designing or teaching a course?

I write marketing and advertising copy for courses as well as design and consult on design, teaching strategies, and learning tools.

I design curriculum and coach teams and individuals wanting to design, market, and teach original digital courses and in-person courses.

COACHING

My integrative-coaching style grows out of more than three decades of combined work as a teacher, literature scholar, creative writer, and yoga student. My academic work is inspired by my interests in rhetoric, writing, aesthetics, philosophy, music, and questions about generating, organizing, doing, and re-evaluating the creative process and applications to daily work.
