A wordsmith who will embrace your mission
A versatile writer and editor with decades of publishing experience, I freelance for charities and advocacy organizations. If you represen
t a nonprofit or nongovernmental organization, I invite you to peruse my sister website, NGOwriter.com. This site introduces me and showcases my commentary and feature writing.
If you need copy, I can craft it. I write fundraising letters, press releases, feature stories, website copy — whatever you need to communicate with stakeholders. Having taken an online course in grant writing, I'm prepared to write my first grant application — for a nonprofit with the patience to work with a novice.
If you need a copy editor, I can deliver. In addition to deftly repairing flaws in grammar, spelling, punctuation and word usage, I untangle twisted syntax, excise superfluous words, and break up run-on sentences. I make every syllable and punctuation mark conform to your stylebook. I tighten and trim copy to specified word counts. On request, I also fact-check and critique copy. A responsive team player, I can edit your newsletters and publications, fill in remotely for someone on leave, or offer a hand in a crisis. I am available to edit copy for websites, magazines, newspapers and newsletters.
Maybe you need someone to help you write a blog or a guest commentary, polish a mission statement, strengthen a grant proposal, or rewrite a contributor's, um, colloquial submission to your publication. Perhaps you need someone who can write news items for your organization's periodicals or help you craft clever, attention-grabbing headlines.
If you wish you had a gifted writer-editor at hand, then drop me a note and let's see if I meet your needs.
May all beings be well.
