As a freelance writer, my goal is to enhance your business, improve your profit picture and make your life easier. I bring many years of solid corporate writing and editing experience in the fast paced financial services industry. My specialty is internal communications and newsletters and as a writer and editor. As a compliance officer working in marketing and advertising, I used my writing talents and extensive knowledge of financial products and services to create understandable materials and then make sure they cleared regulatory hurdles.

Your Project is My Priority
Terms and Revisions
As all jobs are different, quotes will be made at consultation. Short-term assignments (two weeks or less) can be quoted on a flat rate basis. Longer projects may warrant hourly rates. One-third of the contracted amount will be due up front, with the balance paid at negotiable checkpoints.
Professionalism
After an initial no-obligation question and answer session, if we both decide to continue, we will work out a sketch and outline of how the project should look. We will also discuss finances. Only when we’ve come to an understanding on these specifics will I ask you to sign a simple agreement outlining responsibilities, time frames and investment.
The Freelance Advantage
Reduce costs with the “task-specific” help you need – only when you need it.
No salaries, benefits, vacation time or sick leave.
A fresh perspective – new enthusiasm.
Allows small firms to compete effectively.
Advantages of hiring a freelancer
A freelance writer can
- improve your bottom line,
- enhance your image,
- increase your efficiency,
- make your life easier.
You don’t have the time to be good at everything. You know what you do best. Do it. Outsource your writing to me. Keep up your momentum.
A professional writer really does make a difference. Why do it yourself? Doesn’t your product or service deserve an eloquent presentation? Hand it off and stay focused.

A Passion for Writing
At the heart of any business is the people that created it. They are the roots of that company’s success, and success is born, not just from a desire to make money, but out of passion. Entrepreneurs rarely enter a field for which they have no passion. It’s the spirit of those individuals that drives every successful product and service.
