Whaddya need, whaddya need, whaddya need...
 
Magazine articles, in print and online: I can do the research and deliver an article on the topic of your choice. I have written articles profiling a variety of folks from standup comedians to local charity workers. I honed these skills for years as associate editor for the Rochester Review, the University of Rochester (NY) alumni magazine.
   
Web Content: Not only have I created original Web content, I also worked as a content manager for a TV news Web site (13WHAM.com). That's my area of expertise.
   
Editing: Those snappy published pieces out there? They wouldn't have looked as good had they not gone through an editor. An editor sees things from a different point of view, anticipating what your reader will question. I have "cleaned up" a wide variety of written pieces, from health stories (LightenUpWithLiz.com) to educational materials to poetry and short stories.
   
Proofreading: Been doing it for years. I am relentless. No comma goes unturned. I AM the Grammar Cop.
   
Radio copy: Need to read it on the air? I have done freelance work for NPR and know the format well.
   
Catalog copy: Yes, I've even done that. I worked for three years as a catalog writer and editor; I can make your products come alive on the page for your customers.
   
Resumes and cover letters: There's nothing worse than a dull cover letter and an illegible resume. One or both will land you in the "No" pile for that coveted job faster than you can say "ivory parchment". Creating resumes and cover letters is an art form--one I'm well versed in--so let me assist you in creating an attention-getting cover letter and a great-looking resume.
