Kathryn Hammer

Principal,
KCH
Strategic 
Services, 

My philosophy is  simple: if it's worth saying, it's worth saying well. 

Even the dryest, 
most complex 
subjects and issues can be made fascinating or compelling. There's always something delightful
or surprising--or profound, shocking, tender or funny--to be found among the data. I get a kick out of finding it, and helping to convey it to a wide audience.
 
I'm a big believer in straight talk and authentic voice. So that's how I write. I'm an impersonator of sorts. I dig deep to find my client's key message, analyze how the audience can best hear it, and put the two together in my client's best voice.  

(I can do actual voices, too--a passable Katherine Hepburn, a killer Edith Ann, and convincing accents:  Russian, Southern, and, my personal favorite, Fargo, which needed only minor tweaking to be declared an official Sarah Palin impersonation.) 

I've been at this for 17 years, and I never cease to get a charge out of my clients' successes...the standing ovations, the great reviews, the real and measurable results for businesses, organizations, causes, and individuals. Playing a part in that is so gratifying and great fun.  

Prior to entering the executive communications field, Kathryn was a convention hotel marketing director. She also moonlighted as a stand-up comedienne and member of an improvisational comedy troupe. In addition to ghostwriting, Kathryn is the author of three humor books, published by Contemporary Books/McGraw Hill, with three new titles due out in Spring 2010 from  Publications International, Ltd. 
She has spoken widely on the role of humor in business, health, and quality of life issues. She is a contributing writer/director with the White House Writers Group in Washington, D.C.
