Finding Joy

in storytelling.

Writing isn’t for everyone. And writing professionally about your business or brand is an even bigger challenge.

Whether it’s a quick post on social media, an e-newsletter writeup, or even an overview about your business for a networking event, there’s a familiar panic that sets in while staring at a blank screen. You can’t think of anything to put down on paper. In reality, you wouldn’t even know where to start.

It feels a lot like this …

I get it. I’ve been there more times than I’d like to admit –and that’s why I can help!

My name is Giovanna Bernardo.

And so our story begins.

I’m a copywriter and content strategist based in Upstate New York. I’ve had a passion for writing, reading, and stories, since I was young.

My childhood was marked by stories. In elementary school, I read countless Junie B. Jones books, proud to be enjoying real “chapter books” with my classmates. Graduating to middle school, I devoured all the Series of Unfortunate Events books in a matter of weeks, anxious to see what came next in the tale of the Baudelaires. I’d spend playtime acting out scenes with friends from my favorite Disney movies (typically of the princess variety), making up fictional multi-generational tales in games of ‘House’ with my sisters, and of course, singing along to acclaimed numbers from my favorite musicals. You’ll never convince me there’s a greater production than The Sound of Music. And to this day, you’d be hard-pressed to find a children’s story more touching than A Christmas Miracle, which I penned myself in seventh grade. If you must know, it was given stunning accolades by my parents and classmates in its time. Unfortunately, there’s only one copy in existence today…somewhere in my parents’ house…though I’d prefer it were behind locked glass where such a treasure belongs.

While I never imagined having a copywriting business all my own, I always knew helping others tell their stories would be part of my story. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, I know how integral businesses are to our personal lives and life stories. Businesses allow us to serve others. They help us express our creativity and pursue our passions. They put food on the table for our loved ones and ourselves. Businesses make up the fabric of our society. And with society shifting online more and more each year–each day, really–it’s a space your business needs to be to be seen and recognized. That’s where I come in!

I want to leverage my years of professional copywriting experience to tell your business’s story and work with you to craft your brand voice online, so you can build a business you’re proud of AND make bank.

If you know me

you know –

I have an obsession with reading – specifically romantic comedy novels or historical fiction. I’m currently trying to smash my goal to read 35 books this year. Sadly, I am not doing as strongly as I’d hoped…

I spent a highly enjoyable part of 2021 watching every Marvel movie and series in order. Talk about a thrill! Iron Man is THE man. That’s all I’ll say about that.

I may or may not be a sugar fiend. It’s a strong willpower day when I haven’t consumed any chocolate before my head hits the pillow. I even have an Instagram account devoted to my love of reading and baking/consuming desserts.

I love politics. The excitement, history and theater that defines American politics is particularly interesting and entertaining to me. I have a dual Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and English Literature and Rhetoric.

A good period piece, like Downton Abbey or Pride and Prejudice, is truly the key to my heart.
