I will make them work for you.
An idea is just an idea; a product is just a product. It takes a story to make your idea or product exciting! Is it unlike anything we've ever seen before? Is it a simple modification to a 200-year-old product that will save families hundreds of dollars in electricity each year? Is your research going to change the world?
I have been helping people successfully sell their ideas for eight years through practical, creative, persuasive writing. I can do the same for you.

I am seeking freelance writing, branding and editing projects as the first step toward launching my own communications consulting firm.
I will take on writing, branding and editing projects that can be completed off-site with mostly electronic communication between the client and me. I am a full-time manager of communications for a $205 million fundraising effort in Chicago. The job has a contract through December 2009, when the campaign officially ends, so I am working to develop client relationships and meet other professionals interested in building a full-service communications consulting business.
I am willing to consider a wide range of projects. I work daily in non-profit marketing and fundraising; however, I have a strong passion for creative writing projects as well.
