Alison Aves

In nearly 18 years of assembling and polishing words for purposes both editorial and marketing, I've consistently been awed by how much can be achieved with well-crafted content. As a writer I tend to please clients who appreciate an irreverent tone, and I love nothing more than teasing out a new way to convey a familiar idea. As an editor, I strive for precision and elegance but tread lightly where the author's voice is key to the message. A colleague once commented that the worst thing an editor can do is leave in her work a stake proclaiming that she was there; I've carried that wisdom with me ever since.
