What do you want your words to do?

If you're like most of us, you want your words to work hard! You want readers to respond to your writing in a particular way. 

 

You don’t want them to ignore your report, lose your brochure, toss your letter, or check your message and hit "delete." Ouch.

 

You want your readers to: 

   • respond favorably to your report    

   • agree to your proposal    

   • accept your expertise  

   • remember your company’s name

   • buy your product / use your service

   • read your letters, emails, and newsletter and respond as you intended

 

 
Text Box: I partnered with Grand Rapids therapists Charlie Donaldson and Randy Flood to write Stop Hurting the Woman You Love. So what does a book written for abusive men have to do with your writing project? Well . . . "Elaine joined us as a writer, but she contributed above and beyond in challenging Charlie and me conceptually and theoretically as well as grammatically." Randy Flood, coauthor Stop Hurting the Woman You Love "Bravo! You've done great work. Very readable, very important material. I believe it will help a lot of people. . . . Thanks again for all your hard work." Karen Chernyaev, Senior Acquisitions Editor, Hazelden Publishing &                Educational Services   There are tools on nearly every page of this important, practical, down-to-earth book. I highly recommend it . . . John Lee, author The Flying Boy and Facing the Fire

 

How can I help?
As a collaborative writer, I’ll work with you to put your words to work. We'll combine your expert knowledge of your organization, clients, and specialty with my ability to quickly learn your concerns and put your ideas into words.

Collaboration results in hard-working writing that gets the reader response you want.

I’ll ask you plenty of detailed questions to make sure I understand your needs and the effect you want your writing to have. As the project develops, your edits and comments will be worked into the final draft.

My involvement will vary with your writing needs and your time and budget requirements.
