Writer - Editor - Advocate

I’m Colleen Frawley, a writer and public policy advocate, with expertise in narrative change and community development.
Do you want to control your own story? I can help you write your way to credibility.

Together we’ll ensure you or your organization have the skills to effectively engage with the decision makers needed to create change.

Narratives are power.

“You will learn to

read critically, write consciously, speak clearly

because that is the only way this world 

will ever listen to what you have to say.

So, let’s make sure this world sees you 

in more than just Jordans and prison.”

– ”Aristotle” by Clint Smith
