Writing, Editing & Proofreading

My writing, editing, and proofreading work is for professionals and organizations needing clear, well-crafted content that serves a specific purpose, whether that’s informing, persuading, training, or supporting internal work.

Regardless of format, my focus is on clarity, purpose, and the target audience. With your goals and the context in mind, I create content that is well structured, on point, and appropriate for its intended use, so communications are clear, accurate, and effective for their intended audience.

“Merwyn and I are thrilled about the new client and $100,000 contract we won through the sales presentation you wrote. Your research on infomercials was extensive, and your translation of our capabilities into language a non-film expert like the client could easily understand made our value crystal clear. You positioned us exactly where we needed to be to win the business. We’re especially grateful that you stepped in on short notice and delivered such a polished, persuasive presentation. Stellar work all around.

“I cannot wait to use your services again.”

— Tom Barkstedt, Principal, StoryArts Films, LLC (Former Creative Director, Blue Ridge Motion Pictures)
