Word Forge CEO Mary Shafer
The Word Forge is my freelance marketing consultancy and commercial copywriting shop. In 35 years as a communications professional, I’ve built an impressive network of highly skilled and dedicated professionals in all disciplines of the communications field. They help me round out our service offerings, making The Word Forge a convenient, dependable “one-stop shop” for all your communications needs.
This is especially valuable for small and micro businesses.

No problem! Call on our expertise only when you need it. We provide access to top creative talent, and you skip the overhead of an inhouse staff. In short: all the benefits, none of the hassle.
Other benefits of working with The Word Forge:
- Fresh, objective ideas only an outside perspective can bring
- The confidence of leaving your communications to a professional team, while you get back to what you do best — running your company.

Over three decades, I’ve honed an instinct for getting to the core of a challenge, so we’ll get right to work without wasting our time or your money. I’ve also developed a healthy sense of humor about myself and this crazy business. So I’m easy—and hopefully fun—to work with. My respect for traditional craft and work ethic means a respect for your budgets and schedules.
