Once, all stories were told aloud.
And the human voice still reaches deep, pinging neurons, shaping our emotions, opinions, and actions. (Think Churchill, Renée Fleming, Bob Marley, Sting.)
That’s why good writing sounds right, and off-key words or phrases … just wrong. The most effective text performs like words spoken aloud—natural, direct, rhythmic, expressed with energy and precision.
I’ve spent my career finding the right words — in the right voice — for clients:
Creating content for businesses and organizations, in print and online
Helping authors convey their knowledge and vision
Writing, editing, and producing books that succeed for publishers
Do you need compelling messaging with a distinctive voice? Or a proven writing partner? I can help make your story sing.

business writing
Does your company, organization, or design firm need engaging, persuasive, cant-free content for Web-based or print marketing? I’ll write or edit in any form your story requires.
developmental + copy editing
Do you need professional editing at any depth? For projects already under contract, I work with authors and publishers to realize a book’s full potential.
custom/commissioned books
Have a really big story to tell? A corporate anniversary, a milestone to celebrate, a big event to commemorate? Making beautiful books is my wheelhouse.
project management
Looking for a creative coordinator? I can offer end-to-end capacity and a wide skill set, from project conception to assembling teams to a final product — for print or Web.
author collaboration
Are you an author, literary agent, or publisher seeking expert help to craft a publishable manuscript? I love taking deep dives into another mind and voice.
branding
Just starting up, or need to refresh your brand? For a modest investment, I’ll help you develop a name, tagline, and core story. I can recruit a larger identity firm as needed. Or join your branding/naming team.
