Summary
I help clients communicate with clear, compelling, and grammatically correct written material. With adept skill and an in-depth understanding of how language works, I'll consistently impress you with only the highest quality writing and editing services.
You'll love working with me because I write well, have a keen eye for detail, and have a broad range of experience. I enjoy what I do, and it shows.
Keep reading to learn more about what sets me apart from the competition. (Hint: I'm so committed to good communication that I'm actually getting a doctorate in it. But don't worry. I'm not the stuffy Ivory Tower type.)

Experience
About Me
Profile Type: Individual
Number of Employees: 1
Rather than bore you with a bio, here are a few quick reasons you should consider working with me:
- I run Echo Square Communications, a membership-based new media content writing and editing service (launching July '09).
- I've edited and created indexes for published academic works.
- I have a decade of business experience in corporate communications and human resources management. I wrote practically everything internal for a publicly traded company -- executive letters, annual reports, handbooks, intranet content, newsletters -- you name it.
- I teach media writing and speech courses to university undergraduates.
- I'm a Ph.D. student, studying public communication.
- I've won awards for my academic writing.
- I hold myself to the highest ethical standards and only work for clients who do the same.
- I'm allergic to poor grammar (just kidding... well, it does make me cringe).
One more thing:
Freelance writing is something I should have started doing ages ago. Have you ever looked far too long before leaping? Well, that's why I'm only a "new provider," not because I lack experience. Try me! Rest assured that you'll be thrilled with the outcome.
