Published book and screenplay writer, and award-winning major market editor with more than two decades of experience in newspapers, magazines, radio and television. Voiceover talent, actor and public speaker. Designed and wrote two websites in Google Top 10 for their keywords. Comfortable writing copy that is persuasive, informational or both. I can provide the clarity and accuracy needed for a technical manual, the brightness and anecdotal material for a sales presentation, the pacing for a novel or a soft sell guaranteed to persuade an audience. Comfortable with B2B and B2C; in fiction, nonfiction and technical areas; corporate or marketing. Accustomed to working with teams or on my own. Never miss a deadline and rarely miss the mark on the first attempt (mostly because I try to listen well and ask the right questions from the start). Welcome feedback. In addition to editing your work, I will coach improvements in writing, presentation or public speaking, if desired. I am accustomed to working with repeat clients, so I expect to build a relationship with writers and speakers and help them find their voice. I am long on creativity, have a wonderful sense of humor and an unbridled excitement about my business. From indexing to editing a novel or screenplay, I approach all tasks with the same commitment and enthusiasm.
