I have a passion for writing, editing, and proofreading which led me to run a boutique ad agency for 20 years, out of New York City and Colorado. During that time, I wrote about five hundred websites. Not the code, but the content. Every single word of them.

I have expertise in supporting authors, as demonstrated by a certification issued by Knowadays, formerly known as the Proofreading Academy, in both proofreading and copyediting. I am also a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association.

As past owner and president of Blue Skies Marketing, I am an acknowledged SEO expert (Search Engine Optimization) and know how to find–and incorporate-the best keywords for a book (those phrases that are high in demand and low in supply.)

Having been in business myself, with employees all focused on writing optimized websites that convert, I understand business. I have written copy for everything from oscilloscopes to management consulting – from funeral homes to 5-star restaurants–from wellness centers to major legal and accounting firms. I am a quick learner.

Fun fact: My most unusual gig was writing the website and all the marketing materials for a female-run reseller of industrial equipment like bulldozers and cranes–marketed out of Italy to help developing countries grow their infrastructures. Talk about climbing a steep learning curve!

Do you doubt that someone can get up to speed on your business thesis and ensure it perfectly meets its promise? That someone is me. You won’t have to do a lot of explaining. I will get you from the get-go!

I readily understand what business owners and non-fiction writers wish to convey and where any comprehension gaps might lie. I can complete a job quickly and with minimal interaction after confirming the brief.
