Freelance Writing and Editing

Non-Fiction Editing and Research

For your nonfiction manuscript or book proposal, I will provide a brief analysis of how to improve it. The next step is to give your manuscript editorial polish, sending you completed sections as the work progresses. I will also do research for nonfiction books.

Website Copy

For technology companies that want an online presence through a website and articles, I will write copy in non-technical language. Rely on me, too, for website copy in non-technical fields.

Newsletters, Press Releases, Business Plans, and Fund-Raising Letters

Business clients can rely on me to write newsletters, business plans, and press releases. For non-profit organizations, I will write fund-raising letters, newsletters, and press releases. My experience with non-profits includes having been director of the Maternal and Child Health Care Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I was also head of parent fundraising in New York and California for Phillips Academy Andover.

Executive Profiles

If your organization needs brief biographies of top management, I will write profiles that showcase your leaders.

Educational Writing

With experience in writing the text for an "activities kit" for grade school children on how to write and having also co-authored an award-winning book for teenagers on how to make movies, I offer you experienced educational writing.
