Don’t Wait to Create
I’ll help you build a platform you’re proud of right now!
Hello friend!
You were made to create, and your words and message matter to the world.
But building a body of work, and a list of eager readers takes time, finesse, and some know-how.
No matter how great your words are, you need a platform to show them off properly to as many people as possible.
That’s why…
I help overwhelmed Christian creatives build beautiful online platforms that not only amplify their words but also establish them as authorities in their niche.
Don’t wait to create until you’ve figured it all out.
There’s a more soul-satisfying, restful path to get where you’re going. I’ll help you get there!

Why You Should Work with Me
My writing journey started in 2007, when some friends and I thought it would be a great idea to start a K-12 school. (It’s a good thing we didn’t know the magnitude of what we were doing at the time, or it might have never happened.) But that experience taught me how to take big ideas, distill them down, and sell our philosophy of education. I didn't realize it then, but the work I was doing was preparing me to be a copywriter.
Since then, I started my own marketing company and began writing copy for creative entrepreneurs and small businesses to sell their products and services.
I've learned a formula that works for creative entrepreneurs and faith-based writers every time.
Personal branding + writing skills + a heartfelt desire to share hope = a growing platform and a vibrant community of fans.
As a blogger, certified copywriter, and branding expert, I’ve worked with 60+ clients (and counting) helping them in various stages of development to start, improve, and amplify their online presence.
If you’re ready for your efforts to get the attention you deserve, I can help you. Let’s talk!
What People Are Saying…
Jana Carlson
I'm beyond grateful for the insights and expertise of Cara Ray. She graciously coached me through writing the copy for my new website, and I cannot fathom what a disaster it would have been without her encouragement and input.
Cara Blondo
Cara was an absolute joy to work with! Using both her expertise and compassion, she was able to simultaneously guide, instruct, and encourage.
She turned what would have otherwise been a confusing, overwhelming, and possibly discouraging project into something that felt easy and exciting to do.
From start to finish, she guided the process while perfectly combining her knowledge with my needs.
Cat Wood
Working with Cara has been a true pleasure for many years now. As a seasoned entrepreneur, I take the people I hire and refer seriously and Cara has been an easy yes from day one. From the first project I hired her to help me with, Cara helped me take many years of blog posts written on seemingly distinct topics and craft them into a content strategy that helped me clarify my key brand messages for myself and my business. It was incredibly helpful to bring a strategy and direction to my still novice entrepreneurial mindset. I still use and recommend that approach to peers and colleagues as a best practice. Whenever I need copywriting or editorial support, Cara is the first person I think of for myself or my network. I can't recommend her enough!

Cara is the bomb!! Cara has a gift of listening and hearing.
When I first started working with Cara, I was confused, frustrated and overwhelmed. Cara would listen carefully to me: to my heart, to my desires, to my passion.
Once she truly understood what I was saying she would help me organize my thoughts and work with me on my voice. She would produce words that were exactly what I wanted to say but struggled to articulate. Cara would put a voice to what I felt like was trapped inside me.
Cara helped me gain clarity, speak my heart and gave me language to communicate clearly. This was so freeing for me.
A few months after Cara helped me with my project, I was reading back through the copy she wrote. Which was A LOT!! I texted her and said, “The copy you did for me was amazing. I am so grateful for all you did.” Her response to me was, “It is amazing because they are your words from your heart.” That hit me like a ton of bricks. She was right, she helped me share with others the beautiful voice God gave me to share. Cara is an angel and I am so incredibly grateful for her gift of listening, understand and creating beautiful copy that speaks the heart of people.
