Hi Ya!
I'm Brit Shew, and I like to tell stories.
​
I've spent the past five years crafting concise, consistent creative copy via a full-service marketing agency. Prior, I spent four years in the rigorous, fast-paced print and digital newspaper world, honing an impeccable writing style.
​
When I was just a lil' sprout, I had a difficult time conveying the web of constant ideas and thoughts – verbally.
And girl, I can chat. To this day, I often lean into the written way of communication when the ole voicebox is a bit shaky.
​
When I cracked open my first notebook – I found clarity.

Flippin' Pages
Catcher in the Rye
My writing style is heavily influenced by Salinger's intricate use of adverbs. I was hooked on descriptive writing with two simple words: Mossy Teeth. The novel, though controversial for some, is a detailed work of art. I've read it nearly 15 times, and the dialogue and Holden's interpretation of everyday events leave me in awe each time.
Charlotte's Web
I was a chaotic, complex child growing up. I had a mind that moved a mile a minute with a mouth that didn't struggle to keep up. My grandmother reminded this with stories. She knew them by heart and would recite them from memory. Our favorite? Charlotte's Web. Growing up in rural Upstate NY, a story with animals who had feelings and dreams, felt real to me. E.B. White's use of language was inspiring. “Terrific,” “Radiant,” and “Humble" were words I didn't hear often. To this day, I'm obsessed with including unique words or phrases in everyday conversation.
