I'm a business writer, editor, and writing consultant based in Portland, OR. I help business owners and other Biznik-ites tell their story and attract more super-star clients.

My best party trick: Writing real-time copy. Depending on the project, I can deliver polished content the same day. Last time I did this was at a manufacturing company, in a meeting with six executives. We wrote and edited on the fly, the project was done a few hours later.

Other than that... I specialize in short-form copywriting. My "word-bites" are perfect for web content, catalog copy, product brochures, advertorials, white papers, case studies, company backgrounders, and that ever-important "Mini Memoir" -- a brief bio that's all about YOU.

I'm also a compulsive editor, adept at finding misspelled words, typos, and garbled sentences in menus, magazines, product information brochures, and websites. Under my watchful eye, the written word will be cleverly composed -- and spelled correctly.

Already have copy-in-hand? I can make it read stronger so that your story is both compelling and memorable.

I am getting ready to teach a class...so I'm looking for solo-preneuers and others who HATE to write, but do it anyway because it's part of their job.

In just two hours I'll take you from being a reluctant writer to a rich writer. You'll learn how to write DREAMY copy and put it to work the next day. Contact me for more info.

I would also like to work with:

Industrial manufacturing. I love hanging out in factories, getting my hands dirty while I follow raw materials from start to finish. I dig process enigneering and all the cool and not-so-cool stuff that happens on the line. I can help business owners write great sales-leave behinds, employee newsletters, and website content. I've worked for Boeing and Tektronix, and would love more business in that area.

Lifelong learning -- I regularly attend workshops, seminars, and conferences that cover a wide range of subjects -- all to offer my clients a better business perspective.
