          Mix of Expertise 
          My background provides a 
          unique combination of expertise in a variety of areas—including 
          marketing, business, writing, editing, and production.  |

          Marketing. 
          With experience in marketing, I understand how to write and design 
          publications that highlight the distinctive qualities of your company 
          and its products.   |

          Business. 
          My business background enables me to produce marketing and 
          communications products on time and within budget. |

          What You Want 
          I pride myself in writing 
          marketing materials and news stories that meet clients’ expectations, 
          and do not require rewriting by technical staff or senior management. |

          All or Part 
          I can do all or just part of 
          the production process. If you need to contract out the entire 
          document, I can manage it from initial concept to delivery of printed 
          publication. If you already have an in-house production department, I 
          can write your publication and then turn it over to your designers to 
          complete the project.  |

          Conscientiousness 
          I know the importance of 
          staying in touch with clients and getting the job done. I’ll meet with 
          you at your convenience, provide regular progress reports and budget 
          updates, return your phone calls or emails, and meet your deadlines. 
          And, if necessary, I’ll go to extra lengths to get the job done. |

          Cost-Effectiveness  
          As a former vice president of 
          a small business, I know all about keeping costs down. I’ll look for 
          the most efficient way to produce your publication. |
