Reliable,
accurate, creative content
I am a professional writer with 30-plus experience writing, researching, subbing and editing for trade
publications and mainstream media.
My specialty is
transforming challenging and complex subjects into content
that is clear, accurate and easy to digest. While I have
written for mainstream media and consulted with corporates
on their information needs and am confident with content ranging from engineering,
telecommunications and manufacturing to historical research,
I'm prepared to look at any proposal.
You've invested hundreds
of thousands in the software and hardware. You pay the programmers
and designers good salaries. You pay for programs, consultants, and
outside suppliers to ensure that key messages are delivered to the
right audience at the right time. But how
much do you pay for the messages themselves? How much do you pay the
people who write the words -- the words that make each message sing,
that drive every customer action in your business? Without
strong copy, you pay big bucks to deliver weak messages with little
result,

Put
some life into your company profile, newsletters, web pages and media
content and keep it current so customers
and business partners sit up and take notice. Add case histories,
customer accolades, success stories, the latest news and research
without reverting to a predictable sales pitch.
Why pay a fortune to a PR company when you can brainstorm your
information needs and commission credible content from a
professional writer?
Make the words work for you. Let
a professional writer help spread the good news about your new
project, your business, your latest invention or great idea.

Without
content most web sites are purely functional, technical or
glorified advertising brochures. If you want a loyal web
audience you have to win them ove r with current, relevant,
accurate, dynamic, useful and entertaining content. If
you want customers to come back, get them involved.
Content
may have left some publishers as paupers but
its still the most logical way to attract and retain
loyalty and to pre-qualify potential clients.
When refocused as a complementary service to existing
business and hard copy media content is still king,
