Words are free. How you use them can be costly.

I know because I often took calls from readers when I worked at newspapers. They always let us know when a poor choice of words led to misunderstanding. I use that experience to carefully consider how different audiences might interpret a message. Packaging those words is also important. Presentation can drive readers away or capture their attention. In print or online, I can help you present a clear, captivating message. Take a tour through my site to see how I can help you.

I and other managers relied on Angela to tackle the most difficult editing jobs because she is so good at seeing the core of the story and helping the writer to craft a piece that communicates effectively to the reader.

She catches not only the easily missed errors of fact and style, but also the major holes that require more reporting. … Her time-management skills are excellent, and she reliably made deadline, whether that was two hours or two weeks away.
