I am currently in the process of relaunching my writing and editing business (I was forced to take a four-year medical leave). Because I am now working with a government agency, I have been required to rewrite my business plan and explore every facet of being an entrepreneur. I hunderstand the highs and the lows, the advantages and disadvantages, and the financial pitfalls.
I have also assisted start-ups with writing their business plans, and marketing and public relations.
A former journalist, I have more than 30 years of experience in writing and editing. I craft random thoughts, whimsical musings and vague facts into scintillating prose. I have the proven ability to write clearly and concisely under very tight deadlines. I have written for law firms, accounting firms, healthcare and insurance organizations, Fortune 500 corporations, non-profits, and civic/trade organizations. I have also written for such publications as the Minneapolis Star, Kenosha News, Twin Cities Magazine, Virginia Lawyers Weekly, Illinois Legal Times, Wisconsin Opinions and the Wisconsin Law Journal. I have also written three blogs, on marketing, communications, and healthy eating.
My fee is $30/hour, billed on a sliding scale. The more work I receive, the lower my hourly rate.
