Highlights
|
My experience in Information Technology, especially project management and staff/technical training gives me a ground-floor perspective which is valuable in communicating technical information through the written word.
I can write on the same topic for several audiences, allowing me to communicate complicated concepts across a variety of personnel.
My writing anticipates the types of questions that the audience may ask at each level and delivers the information in a way that their level of understanding can comprehend.
Most importantly, I do work that I love to do and write what I love to write. This results in a quality product that is full of good energy!

Work Terms
|
My goal is for all of us to have a great experience working together. The way to insure that is to communicate the working arrangements up front to both of our satisfaction.
Payment
For first-time employers using my services I request payment via SafePay Escrow. For repeat services, I will use SafePay Invoicing.
I do not begin work on any project until payment arrangements have been agreed upon. After the project is complete, payment must be made within three days unless other arrangements have been made prior to the project being started.
Contacting Me
My general office hours are 9:00am - 5:00pm PST Monday through Friday. I work throughout the day, evening and weekends but the office hours are when you can be sure to get in touch with me.
For our record keeping, I prefer to correspond by email. When we do have phone or Skype conversations, I will follow up with an email.
Emails and voice mails received after business hours will get a response first thing the next morning.
Satisfaction Guarantee
My guarantee is that you will be completely satisfied with the work I do for you. If you have any issues or concerns with the work, I will correct it to your satisfaction.
Feedback
When the project is complete and you are satisfied with the deliverable(s), I would appreciate feedback on my work. This is one way an individual distinguishes themselves on Guru.com.
I work for several other freelance organizations, and feedback is a very important component of any writer’s profile.
