Services
- Writing–My years of freelancing experience have equipped me to deal with any deadline, any topic, and any style of writing. My areas of expertise are writing about health, green living, jobs and career advice in the D.C. area, and food and dining, but as a reporter I know how to learn what I don’t know. I’m available to contribute to your magazine, newspaper, or trade journal. If you’re based far from D.C., we can work together over e-mail or the phone. Contact me to see how I can help you.
- Editing–Maybe your term paper just needs a second read-through. Maybe you’re struggling with the final touches on a book proposal or query letter. Or maybe a project needs a little more before it’s ready for publication. No matter if you are planning to find an agent and publisher or if you choose to self-publish; all books need to be clear and easy to read.I’ve been editing professionally for a year; informally for more than five. Contact me to see how I can help you.
- Blogging–It’s the 21st century. Your customers have come to expect regular blog updates, which is why blogging is so crucial to your business and such a good marketing tool. But if you don’t have time to update your own blog, well, I understand. Contact me to see how I can help you maintain your blog, manage blog comments, and more.
- Resume Critiquing–Looking for a job? Maybe it’s your resume. I’ll polish it up, trim the puffery that hiring managers see right through, and make your words and your work experience sparkle. Contact me today to learn more.
- Writing Coaching–You’re not looking for a line-by-line edit of your work. Actually, you’re more curious about how to get started. Or you’re looking for some honest, big-picture feedback. I get it. I got you covered. I’ve talked all manner of would-be writers through the process of getting started and of shaping an article for publication. Contact me to see how I can help you.
- Regardless of who you are or your business goals, I can probably help you–with limited exceptions; contact me to learn more. In short, I do not take on commercial clients who are active in areas I cover journalistically, and I will not “use my connections” to help any paying client gain favorable press coverage. So don’t ask.
