Heather Russell Writing
Your experience has a story. Your next chapter deserves the right words.
Heather Russell writes professional documents — CVs, biographies, board profiles, statements and brand narratives — built from your own record, in language that sounds like you.
The person behind every word
There is a person behind every document.
And behind every professional document is a much larger story — experience, decisions, ambition, change, uncertainty, achievement and direction.
Heather works directly with clients to understand that story before putting words around it.
Why the practice exists
A document is never simply a collection of facts.
A CV is more than employment history. A LinkedIn profile is more than an online biography. A board profile is more than a list of appointments. Each is an opportunity to communicate professional identity with clarity and intention.

Strategy Before Templates
Clarity Before Complexity
Human Before Corporate
Confidentiality Before Convenience
Substance Before Decoration
Professional journeys
Every career has a chapter worth telling.
Genuine client journeys and first-hand words will be shared only with permission. Until then, the work is represented by the care, process and standards that shape it.
“Proof matters. So does permission.”
Client work is treated as private by default. Nothing is turned into marketing material without a clear and appropriate basis for doing so.
Begin in writing
Let’s put the right words around what comes next.
You do not need the perfect terminology. Write what is happening and what you are working toward.
