The ProcessThink of your writing self as a pole vaulter: clear high bars in a single jump, fall, get up, jump again.
Work with me from anywhere using Microsoft Word's, OpenOffice.org Writer's, or Apple's iWorkPages' Track Changes--or in web-based docs.google.com. No lost packages or shipping charges; no incompatibility issues; no hard drive crashes.
I am creative, insightful, a quick study, deadline driven, and market savvy.
• I shorten your priority list by delivering what you need on time and on budget. • I ask the right questions at the outset to grasp it the first time. • I absorb your materials and do any required research to produce it. • I am a nimble thinker who can shift gears easily based on your needs. • I focus on what your audience needs to hear. • I craft a product that meets your expectations and that pleases you. Q.: "What do you look for in authors beyond the quality of their manuscripts?"
A.: "Isn't that enough?" --J. Galassi, publisher, Farrar, Straus & Giroux All projects are guaranteed and held in strict confidentiality.
