Together we can make your stories and articles shine. Just take a look at the testimonials of my clients. I'd love for you to be one too!  As a news journalist for Media General Communications Corp., The Tampa Tribune, and Sunbelt Newspapers for 35 years- 10 of which were as Bureau Editor and Trainer- I guarantee I can get your story to your preferred length with a great lead and conclusion, and every word polished. If you need transitions, don't worry, I've done hundreds of them. 

I also freelanced for five national magazines, ranging from True Romance and True Story to Gulf Coast Fisherman and Today's Christian Woman so I am familiar with the styles for most magazines as well as newspapers. I can give you the exact word length requested and work on a tight deadline.  

I edit short works (anything under 5,000 words) at an hourly rate of $30. 

As a journalist for many years, I have written in many subjects, and am able to understand detailed stories in just about every profession. If I'm not sure, I look it up.

    My experience working with Penny Fletcher was an exciting journey with a new fresh look to my book. I was travelling through the changes she made in my texts, observing her professional touch, and wondering how she crafted my documents to their best potential. Penny also encouraged me in the moments when I felt not confident in my ideas and provided me with explanations. I am happy to have my experience working with her!
