Samples

Based on the needs and expertise of each organization, I provide a customized range of communications services. For some clients, I talk with staff or board members about their goals and vision for their communication pieces and create a report, newsletter, or website from scratch by using materials provided by the organization and conducting interviews with key individuals. Other clients already have material written that I collect and revise in order to create a consistent voice and appropriate tone for a particular piece. Whether you need a comprehensive communications package, an expert to polish and perfect your writing, or something in between, I can help.

Here are a few samples of my work.
