This is For the Love Of Words. Part book club, part writing workshop and 100% a fun and engaging educational resource for young readers and writers ages 8-13!
Who am I?
My name is Olivia Mardwig. I am a writer, educator, and parent. I have been a copywriter and teacher for 11 years, a mother for 4, and a poet, short story writer, lover of books, poems, and stories for forever.
My copywriting experience includes building brandvoice and story, marketing materials, and lucid and evocative product writing for creative and luxury brands in the design, education, and mental/health spaces. Examples of copy include work with Calico Radnor Walker Warner Williamsburg Therapy Group The Creativity Project
FOR THE LOVE OF WORDS combines my love of teaching, creating, reading, writing, and the dream to make education accessible, affordable, and fun!
Part of realizing that dream is accepting donation subscriptions for a young learner in need and offering discounts to anyone who could benefit. If you require financial assistance, feel free to reach out directly anytime.
