**specializing in serving Christian ministries and publications**

No matter your line of work—whether it’s in the business field or on the mission field--much of what you do probably involves writing. Letters, reports, proposals, brochures, manuals, press releases, newsletters, ad copy, and articles: these are the power tools in the machinery of the working world.

But the truth is, not everyone in your organization has been trained to be a writer. At best, that translates into run-of-the-mill communications. At worst, it allows the production of off-the-mark messages, error-sprinkled publications, and lackluster copy.

Why settle for either alternative? A professional writer and editor can help you craft your points, fine-tune your presentation of them, and eliminate image-eroding errors. I can help you power-pack each piece of communication with the right message, the right words, and even the right image for yourself and your organization.

• copy editing - spotting and correcting your grammatical, word choice and punctuation errors
• style editing - tightening up your loose copy, bringing inconsistencies into alignment, flagging cliches, and clearing up confusing sentences or paragraphs
• content editing – helping you organize or re-organize your thoughts and your research into a logical and pleasing order
• critiquing –providing the feedback you need to move ahead on your project with confidence

The Freelance Advantage – Rather than having a staffer squeeze writing projects into an already busy schedule, bring me aboard for full-speed-ahead service. Your project will get my full attention, a fresh perspective, and the benefit of my specialized skills. (Plus, you don’t have to pay for my vacation days, sick days or health insurance!)

Free Consultation – During our first meeting—by phone, email, or in person—we’ll discuss the project and its scope, brainstorm if necessary, then discuss fees and deadlines. Next I’ll pin down the details in a simple agreement. We’ll both sign it, then I’ll get started.

Terms – Once I sign on to a project, I’m committed. Wholeheartedly. Because so many factors, such as turnaround time and complexity, shape the scope of each project I prefer to quote fees on a per-project basis. I will make every effort to find a way to work within your budget.
