Copy That Works. Stories That Last.

 I help organizations communicate with clarity through compelling copy, white papers, and content writing. I write essays, blogs, and books that explore resilience, reflection, and the pursuit of meaning.

Hi, I'm Brad Philbrick.

Grant Writer, Copywriter

My career began in pharmacy, shifted to grant and content writing, and has grown into two intertwined paths:
  • Helping nonprofits, businesses, and biomedical organizations succeed with persuasive copy and thought leadership pieces.
  • Crafting essays, memoirs, and books that invite reflection and inspire change.
Whether you’re here as a client looking for strong content or a reader seeking meaningful stories, welcome.

Copywriting & Content That Gets Results

I specialize in:

Thought Leadership

Turning complex ideas into persuasive, authoritative content.

Grant Proposals

Helping nonprofits secure vital funding.

Copywriting

Blogs, newsletters, case studies, and marketing copy that drives engagement.

Explore My Creative Writing

Outside of client work, I write essays, blogs, and books that explore what it means to live with awareness and resilience.

Words have the power to inform, persuade, and transform.
I bring that power to both client projects and creative writing—helping organizations thrive and readers reflect.

Observations: A Refreshing Take on What Most People Miss

Welcome to Observations — a newsletter for anyone who believes the small things aren’t so small. Each edition offers a short, insightful reflection drawn from life, work, writing, or memory — all viewed through the lens of someone who has learned that real understanding begins when we slow down and notice.
 
You won’t find formulas or fluff here. Just thoughtful takes on what often goes unnoticed — the silence between words, the subtle cues of emotion, the wisdom in a half-remembered moment.
 
It’s not just a newsletter. It’s a pause. A deep breath. A fresh perspective.
 
Because sometimes, all it takes is a shift in what you see to change how you live.

We promise we’ll never send you any spam.
