Strategic Writing and Editing

Professionals and business owners

  • Do you provide a professional service or operate a sole proprietorship or privately owned company that serves your calling to help people increase or protect their health, wealth, or happiness?
  • Is education an integral part of the value you provide or an essential dimension of your sales and marketing?
  • Do you struggle to develop the broad range of writing skills you need to speak to colleagues, prospects, referral sources, professionals in other disciplines, and the media?
  • Do you simply lack the time and energy to develop the content that could help establish your expertise, add depth to what you offer current customers or clients, or generate passive revenue?

Most of us learned to write for our teachers, not for audiences. Professional and business training can instill bad writing habits that impair your ability to connect with your audiences. Let me help you attract your best customers or clients, shorten your sales cycle, deliver improved customer service, and enhance your reputation as an expert.

Designers, Web developers, communications specialists, and marketers

Do your clients or employers need help with textual content? I offer hands-on creative, too. Topics and domains I’ve covered:

  • Communications
  • Education
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Health, Fitness, and Wellness
  • Marketing
  • Nonprofit Management
  • Organizational Development
  • Pets and Other Animals
  • Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship

When your customers publish richer, stronger content, they get better results, and you get a portfolio you can be proud of!

Job Holders and Job Seekers
Do you need help producing a high-stakes presentation such as a resume, white paper, or proposal? I can work as a coach, consultant, or content developer.

Companies and Nonprofits

Don’t have the resources to hire dedicated writers and editors? I’ve filled that role in Fortune 500 companies and the vendors that serve them. When you outsource burdensome communications and documentation projects to a copywriter, you:

  • improve your organization’s image
  • free up administrative and professional staff to do what you hired them to do
  • implement the efficient systems that knowledgeable publishers use instead of reinventing the wheel

Hire me to write, edit, or revise; to manage publication projects; or to teach your staff how to write faster and better. I can also work with visual creatives to provide scripts or text for infographics, PowerPoint slides, and signage.

I have written magazine articles and an award-winning book; done hands-on content development, editing, and ghostwriting for top organizations; and coached individuals including graduate students, executives, job seekers, and successful authors on academic papers, book projects, presentations, resumes/CVs/bios, and marketing.
