What Lori does best
Helping authors turn their book-writing dreams into reality nourishes Lori's soul. And helping business professionals create compelling, results-oriented print or electronic materials feeds her passion for marketing. Lately, the two areas are merging as business professionals realize the power of publishing books, workbooks, ebooks and online newsletters.
What does Lori need?
Introductions to business professionals who recognize the benefits of being "a published author." They're looking for greater visibility, more speaking engagements (especially with back-of-room sales opportunities), increased SEO and the extra attention the general public - and business prospects - give someone who has written a book.
Education
Degrees in Communications and in French Language and Literature from the University of Washington -- and plenty of on-going education since then!
Experience
Lori's plans to be an editor evidently began in first grade, when she told her teacher she wanted to be a nurse for one year, a teacher for two years, and an editor after that. The teacher and nurse plans quickly fell by the wayside, but the editing idea took hold.
Her background includes a stint as managing editor of a small publishing company, and 17 years in corporate marketing, where she led two in-house marketing teams and largely focused on written communications.
Currently, Lori helps authors and business professionals communicate with clear, concise and compelling words. Authors trust her judgment and experience with editing their book manuscripts, guiding them through the publishing process, and helping them to market their books in ways that get results. Business professionals look to Lori for editing and polishing assistance with their marketing materials. With her emphasis on key messages, target audience and brand support, clients achieve larger ROIs.
Lori has won more than 100 communications awards on local, regional, national and international levels, including several "Best of Category" and "Best of Show" honors.
Most of her work with authors and business professionals is through repeat business, client referrals or networking.
