About Craft Your Content

We Help You Make Your Own Words Even Better


(in other words, We Help You Improve Your Writing and Craft)

You and I both know that writing is a craft. It’s a craft we spend all our time researching, perfecting, and creating...yet it somehow never feels finished.

There was one thing I found missing in the world of writing: the camaraderie.

It was the “You & I” part that I mentioned above.

While we know there are other writers out there, doing the same things and dealing with the same endless cycles, it can sometimes feel like you’re all alone.

Our Story

I’m Elisa Doucette, Founder of Craft Your Content. I’m a lover of language, always interested in where words come from and what history is behind them.

I've spent years (okay, almost two decades) writing my own articles and posts, working in the world of content marketing before it was a world we all knew about. As the rough and tumble world of bloggers transformed into a motley crew of professional writers and creatives, the mission to improve began.

Enter the elusive “editor.” Enter the boring grammar rules I didn’t want to follow. Enter the misguided help that resulted in changing my words and opinions into theirs.

I created Craft Your Content because, well, I was over this narrative.

I was tired of hearing frustrated writers at all levels, living in fear that they were getting stripped out of their own writing. I wanted the teamwork, and I wanted to go beyond just being fellow writers. I wanted to build a community, create a safe space (where you may hear the occasional cuss word, just warning you), and help give writers the confidence to finally feel that “ah-ha” moment.

To feel like your time, research, dedication to and perfection of your craft was worth every single moment spent behind your keyboard.

What We Do

In a world that is every-(wo)man-for-(her)himself, writing doesn’t have to be.

Our team knows those thoughts swirling around in your head because we’ve been there, too. We know what it’s like to second guess your work, to feel overwhelmed with deadlines and consistency, to wonder if it’s all really worth it, and to feel the surge of anxiety every time you press that “Publish” button.

The thing that Craft Your Content does differently than other editors is that we partner with you.

We want to be creative collaborators who help you to craft content that works for you, is high quality, and lets you release tension rather than live with it.

Our team offers empathy and banter in place of cold-editing and impersonal communication. We offer two-way conversation, not just critiques.

We work with you, not against you.

As a trusted partner in your writing and creative endeavors, we provide two different levels of support to professional writers and entrepreneurs who have a goal of rising above the noise of online content and make their own words, their own craft, even better.

Our first level of support offers:

  • Courses and Community where you can work alone or in groups to improve your writing and get the results you crave.

Want a more one-on-one approach? We offer that as well. 

Our second level of support offers:

  • Proofreading, Content Editing, Content Management, Content Strategy, and Writing Coaching for those who are looking to achieve their maximum performance, go beyond superficial successes, and dig deep with our team of witty yet talented individuals.

What We’re Passionate About

We help writers who are looking to bring their writing to "the next level", are in the process of creating a brand, or want to use high-quality content promote a business. We love entrepreneurs, seasoned professionals, and anyone who is trying to upgrade their writing game. 

We work with writers who want to focus on the quality and authority of their writing. We don’t offer generic instructions and don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

At the heart of it all, we care most about you as a human being.

Our team recognizes that you need to be your most genuine and authentic self, and we are firm believers in helping you do that. Rather than changing your voice or sacrificing your ideas in favor of perfect prose or correct grammar, we help make you (and your own words) even better.

While of course SEO and other “fun” details are important, we believe that they are all secondary when you are able to craft content that is good.

You can read more about our promise to our clients in our Editor’s Creed. 

Elisa's advice and counsel as an editor has proven invaluable as she has a deep understanding of both the business implications of content as well as what makes good writing in the first place. Since we started working together, my brand presence has increased by an order of magnitude.

Elisa and the CYC team have been such a gift to me in my pursuit to tell my business's story. I honestly think if it weren't for Elisa, I would not have been able to get the courage or words to land a writing gig I was excited about, nor the accountability and forward progress to keep it.

We had a new business meeting with the head of marketing for a huge company and he said that he thinks our marketing/thought leadership (particularly the Medium publication) is some of the best he's ever seen. I attribute much of that to the editing help CYC has given us.
