About

Michael Tate ... Making clean, clear communication in a confusing world.

I love writing and editing. I've done it as a professional and freelancer since the late 1990s. Writng is the most fantastic form of expression, whether it is journalisic, business-related or creative.

Editing and proofreading have their own rewards. It's taking the rough, written creation and refining it. That's what makes the communication clean and clear.

Layout is the final piece. Through good design and typography, the written and edited words become visual and, when done well, quite beautiful.

Work Terms

I currently work Monday, Wednesday and Friday all day, and afternoons and evenings on Tuesday and Thursday. I am open to negotiating work times with any client.

My availability will open up in the summer.
