  Leslie Lapides
 
Professional/Personal Overview
  I have worked with hundreds of writers, from college interns to top professionals, for more than 30 years.

My goal is for your white paper, newsletter, website, speech, manuscript to reflect your voice and your company, not mine. My job is to help clarify and bring out what you want to say in the best and clearest way.

Often people write more than they need to, because they are concerned their message is not getting across.

A strong, clear message will often be a shorter one, but one that draws in your intended audience and keeps them reading.

Naturally, I will also correct any spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes.
