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

I specialize in short-form copywriting. My "word-bites" are perfect for web content, catalog copy, product brochures. and personal press kits.

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.

Solo-preneuers who need a "Bionic Bio" -- a 300-500 word personality profile that reads like a conversation between friends. Bionic Bios are a great leave-behind, and are perfect for the "About You" page on your website. I want to tell Portland business stories, one person at a time...

I would also like to work with:

Independent business owners who need a "personal press kit." This nifty product is all about YOU and how you help YOUR customers succeed. It's detailed, personalized, and ultra-useful: A personal press kit is a great leave-behind. You can use it at networking meetings. You can post the content on your online profile. The custom bio and fact sheet can be used on your website. If you are a public speaker, the content can be part of your speaker packet.

I'd love to meet and talk with business owners and fellow Biznik-ites who need catalog writing in the health, fitness, and home improvement industry. Extra points (lunch on me) if you can introduce me to the people who produce these gems.

Savvy clients-to-be who know authored articles, advertorials, and case studies are the best way to promote themselves on the Internet, and improve their rankings on search engines...but are too busy to write. I offer a Stealth Writing Service where I will interview you and write the article for you. You get the byline, the kudos, the hits. And your secret's safe with me. Your ideas + my words = your success.

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.
