Whether you want to share information, make a persuasive argument or raise money, it all comes down to your ability to communicate your message. That's where I can help.
I have a wide-ranging background as a writer and editor, including experience in print, on-line and broadcast media and in the nonprofit world. I know how to tailor a piece to its intended audience -- which is crucial in today's environment, where a one-size-fits-all approach simply does not work -- and produce copy that is not only professional-looking but also informative and lively. My areas of expertise include:
-- Newsletters
-- Articles
-- Brochures
-- White Papers
-- Web Pages
-- Resumes/Cover Letters
I offer reasonable rates, and can work within whatever time framework is best for you. Please send an e-mail describing what you need, and I''ll get back to you promptly.
