Writing

“Good writing is clear thinking made visible.” ~ Bill  Wheeler

Clear, concise, informative, entertaining, personal. All writing imparts information, whether telling a story or instructing "how to"—and some of the most memorable writing combines the two—grow a garden, raise a puppy, or stay healthy during flu season. Be it informing your current and potential customers about your business or new product, or keeping clients up to date with your services, I am here to help you with:

· Newsletters · Brochures · Articles · Web Content · Profiles · Ad Copy · Company Communications · Blogs · Catalog Copy · Word Processing · And much more!

Editing

“I have made this letter longer than usual, only because I have not had the time
to make it shorter.” ~ Blaise Pascal

Similar to the surgeon’s creed of “get in, get it, get out,” editing is get to your point, make your point, and leave it. Easy to say; tough to do. And, yes, time consuming, as the draft is polished and refined into a clean, clear text, and the voice of the author is not only intact, but vibrant and well defined. An editor brings out the best in a writer, and the reader benefits. Editing services
comprise the following:

· Proofreading · Copyediting · Substantive Editing · Technical Editing 


I can help to clean up and smooth out  language, eliminate inconsistencies and redundancies, correct  typos, usage, and spelling errors, and create a professional manuscript or document. I am also here to provide you assistance with navigating the publishing process, whether working with an agent and publisher or self-publishing.  Contact me for help with your next report or publication.

Virtual Assistance

 "Keep calm and hire a virtual assistant"

My VA work follows the same mission as my writing and editing, not only making my clients' lives easier by providing the help they need, but making them look great at the same time. Hire me if you want to be more productive, if your business is growing, if your schedule overwhelms you, or if you want to spend more time on your passion. I can help with organizational tasks, scheduling, tracking, making phone calls, creating templates for your business memos, reports, and proposals, and word processing those important documents.
