I am a freelance project writer in Chicago, Illinois providing English-language research, writing, editing, and graphics services for individuals, businesses, and organizations around the world. I operate as a Web 2.0-enabled virtual service center for those customers who need one.

Words and visuals are the building blocks of memorable, winning messages — messages that inform, inspire, entertain, educate, and SELL. Whether your enterprise is large or small, my goal is to be the architect and author of the words, messages, and strategies that bring success to you.  

 
I’m currently seeking writing, editing, and social media engagements with high-traffic blogs in the airline, travel, and transportation industries. I’m interested in contract or full-time work, as well as requests for on-spec submissions and guest posting of original content on other established blogs in these sectors.

When time permits, I offer pro bono content creation services to non-profit organizations for small jobs that can be accomplished in 1-2 days. Please use this contact form to submit needs and request consideration.
