About

25+ years' technical/marketing communications

A writer who can turn your product features into customer benefits and your company's story into news. A proposal editor/writer who'll add the selling overtones your engineers can't.
I've been a customer for the services I sell -- a marketing communications manager and a PR manager. I know what a client wants from a writer. I write to size, listen to criticism, and deliver to deadline and budget.
SEEKING: Contract remote/virtual work writing marketing materials, technical documentation, and trade press articles; writing and editing new business proposals
OFFERING: Experience creating collateral/marketing materials; writing and editing technical documents and proposals; writing/researching/interviewing b2b publication and SEO articles

Work Terms

I prefer to transact business through SafePay Escrow by check, E-check, or wire transfer. Contact by either email or phone is OK, at mutually agreed intervals once \we start working together. I'm generally available, including evenings and weekends.Guru suggests a note here asking to give and receive feedback on completion of work; a good client can expect an enthusiastic testimonial. What to expect from me? I've worked on the buying side of the business as well, and I remember what a client needs from a writer. I'll work with you.
