How Can I Help?

Imagine you didn’t have to put time into writing. You’d rather be casting a vision, or generating ideas, or setting the stage. Let someone else put your story or message into words—someone like me.

Or maybe you can write. . .sort of. Perhaps English is your third or fourth or seventeenth language. You would like someone to “pretty up” your words and get your message across more clearly or professionally.

You’re in luck—words are my thing, so they don’t have to be yours! How can I help you?

WRITING

I am a certified white-paper specialist: tell me a problem your product or service will solve. I’ll interview you, do some research, compile a draft white paper, and collaborate with you in finalizing it to help others access your solution.

I am also certified in writing case studies. Got a happy customer or a significant partner you’d like to showcase? Let me help tell their story—and yours with it.

I love integrating research with writing. I’m also slowly adding travel writing to my wheelhouse. You can see some of my writing here.

EDITING

I joke that I can spot a wayward comma at ten paces. Editing comes easily to me—my brain is wired for pattern recognition, so anything that doesn’t fit the pattern stands out. In the last year, I have edited board-certification essays, a dissertation, a university faculty manual, and two card decks for an online influencer. I recently proofread a fascinating book on death and dying. What types of writing do you need help with?
