Additional details
We have a story to be written about a woman fighting against frack brine roadspreading on the dirt roads of her whole town. It's a story that needs to be told.
What we have in place
- We currently have a lot of material including audio interviews., which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have some things written down already., and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help

Testimonials
Megan was an instrumental help to our organizations communication efforts. After one phone call and providing her with necessary sources of information, she single handedly turned a saga including a complex legal battle, into a digestible client story. As a one man communications team at a small nonprofit I can't overstate how much I appreciate Megan's ability to produce a difficult story on her own with little oversight.
My experience with Fair Shake has been nothing short of rewarding. Josh was an excellent resource as he made himself completely available to all my questions and strategically outlined a cohesive plan of action. Fair Shake is significantly impacting countless lives with their selfless passion and dedicated team members eager to serve. It was truly a pleasure writing for Fair Shake and I am grateful for the opportunity to turn a family’s real struggle into a piece that will positively impact many others.
