Tiffany Grandstaff Creative Portfolio

Let's skip the part where I tell you that "words matter." You know that already. That's why you're here.

I'm Tiffany "T" Grandstaff — content strategist, copywriting guru, and trauma-informed storyteller. For years, I've helped individuals, entrepreneurs, startups, and established brands stop sounding like fluff and start making some noise. I am the vivacious voice behind successful businesses, well-known changemakers, resilient trauma survivors, and hopefully, you.

This is your backstage pass into what I do, why I do it, how it helps, and ways you can take advantage. Let's feast.

What I Do as a Freelance Writer in Iowa

My work is the crossing guard between strategy, soul, and search engine. I optimize visibility, but more than that, I engineer and refine narratives to help people say what they really mean. AI could never.

Branded Content & Copy

I specialize in performance copy with wings — because personality sells better than pressure.

Rugiet Health: Launched men's health products dripping with swagger and scientific precision
Pizza Junkiez & Coffee Junkiez: Developed crave-worthy social campaigns and menu names
Lovehoney & Kiiroo: Provided sexual wellness brands with bold, inclusive copy — no clichés

Claire Bahn Group: Built, optimized, and published edited blog ecosystems for personal brands

Mananalu Water: Assisted Jason Mamoa's creative team in creating value-based messaging
Scared Rabbit Productions by Double J Brandz: Crafted copy, brand kits, and podcast scripts

TheHappily Co.: Developed date night subscription box content and campaigns for couples

Green Marketing FL: Directed teams to scale 20+ brands with SOPs, voice guides, and more

Romantic Blessings: Supported faith-based couples with stigma-free educational series

Vietnam Veterans Organization: Ghostwrote sensitive, strategic web copy for VA services

And more

Trauma-Informed Storytelling & Ghostwriting

As a certified trauma-informed storyteller and award-winning author of Domestic Violence Survival Handbook: Strategic Planning Guide to Safely Escape Abuse, I write with an understanding that a story can trigger, liberate, and save a life.

That's why I approach sensitive topics with empathy, helping trauma survivors, brands, and advocates tell the truth without retraumatizing their audience or themselves.

My personal essays on Medium have become the backbone of my most vulnerable work, guiding hundreds of subscribers by giving them a language for the chaos they can't name. Some have said my writing helped them recognize abuse, walk away from it, and change their lives.

I know intimately the power of a story when it's lived and told well. I walk the tightrope between pain and purpose to craft narratives that become survival tools. My work has been featured in The Taoist Online, Evansdale Public Library, Hawkeye Community College, and more.

I believe you don't have to be a writer to be an author, so I share my insights, skills, and knowledge to ghostwrite memoirs for entrepreneurs, trauma survivors, and anyone with a compelling story to tell. I'm here for those ready to end their silence, reach communities, and spark change.

Let's make sense of the chaos and leave a legacy you can be proud of.

Poetry, Lyrics & Scripts

The Boneyard — My published poetry collection, praised for its raw imagery, emotional velocity, and gritty relatability.
Hidden Truths and Memories Forgotten — A client's poetry collection that I curated, edited, and designed from scratch before publishing.
Rugiet Health Commercial — A scripted ad for a breakthrough men's health product - the flagship brand's first viral impression.

In a world where few take poetry, lyrics, and scripts seriously until they're hurting, searching, or needing to convey something complex, I never forget the value. Sometimes, it's not about traffic and sales. Sometimes, it's about removing a weight from your chest.

Check Out My Passion Projects

Not everything I write is tied to a brand or client brief. Many projects are born out of obsession, driven by survival, and fueled by an insatiable desire to help others.

T Grandstaff Books is my humble, independent publishing venture explicitly designed for that purpose. I created it to assist PTSD survivors in dismantling trauma and establishing wealth-building legacies from the ashes of their past.

What began as me coaching people out of my garage has grown into a grassroots movement. I've helped dozens of survivors, entrepreneurs, and generational black sheep transform lived experience into memoirs, manuscripts, activity books, journals, and guides — all with the goal to accomplish two things:

Heal the writer
Impact the reader

Some of these books are used in local shelters and community outreach programs, while others have become residual income streams for their authors. All of them started with someone who thought their story didn't matter, until we proved it did.
