to diligence and skill.

Over my career, I have contributed to dozens of clients on wide-ranging project types. Whether as a writer, editor, or humble proofreader, I have helped transform my clients' ideas all the way from blank pages to audience-ready content.
And it's that variety of experience that helps me see your words from your perspective.
Here is a sample of the types of work I have done:
Web Writing: Internet connections are getting faster at the same time that attention spans are getting shorter. And we're also seeing the line between online content and print content become obliterated. As a result, no matter where your content gets presented, it needs to be tight, well organized, and get to the point immediately. Otherwise you’ll lose a reader.
Print Advertising: Everyone remembers the great magazine ads they've seen. Make yours memorable, too, with great copy.
Press Releases: This is just one of the areas I've worked in, and I've written press releases for Fortune 500 companies as well as local businesses.
Internet Marketing: I have had experience from many angles in this area: from campaign writing and design to fulfillment and follow-up.
Rewriting and Editing: For businesses in the Information Age, change is the only constant. That means revising your existing brochures, manuals, and other business documents is as important as the initial publication.
Proofreading: The official definition varies, but my interpretation of "proofreading" involves checking documents — either electronically or in hard copy format — for spelling, grammar, and consistency. This makes proofreading a subset of "copyediting."
Copyediting: In my mind, copyediting is a midway point between proofreading and editing. It takes proofreading and adds services to improve word choices and logic.
