I am an experienced writer and editor, recently retired but up for the right freelance, part-time or short-term work. As a writer, I am known for creative approaches to researching, analyzing and explaining complex issues and situations to wide-ranging audiences. I am good at both seeing the big picture and burrowing into the details of a complicated topic. I can help you tell your story, clearly and compellingly.As an editor, I recognize good stories and can help writers, photographers, videographers, graphic artists and designers develop, assemble and produce those stories on deadline. I'm up for almost anything, from heavy editing and rewrite to proofreading and catching the smallest glitches. On any assignment, I have a passion for accuracy, clarity, consistency, integrity and attention to detail — not so the rules are followed, but so the message shines through. As a teacher and leader, I have a wealth of insight and experience to share but am always just as interested in what I can learn from others.As a collaborator, I am known for bringing a desire to help and a positive attitude to every situation. I enjoy taking on new tasks, working hard and seeing everyone succeed.True communication ensures that you and your audience — subscribers, employees, clients or customers — will hold the same ideas in common. For any worthy enterprise, it also means everyone will share the same feelings of honest, fair dealing and mutual respect and benefit. I can help. Let's talk.
