Content. It's blog posts, articles, nonfiction books, white papers, web copy, reports, brochures, Facebook posts, novels, product descriptions, case studies, press releases, newsletters, annual reports, and anything else read in print or online. It's long and short. It has different tones and different vocabulary for different audiences.

Whether you need it produced, rearranged, or cleaned up, you’ve come to the right place. I make you look good.

Bonus: I’m calm and fun to work with.

My writing has appeared in such print and online publications as the Washington Post, Psychology Today, Women'’s Day, and Discovery.com.

Making sure your meaning is clear and all the mechanics—punctuation, usage, grammar—are correct. I’ve worked on magazines, reports, white papers, academic and trade books, brochures, newsletters, catalogs, websites, memoirs, annual reports, and more.
