In today’s world of multi-modal communications and higher expectations for information, busy professionals want and need support to manage the fast-paced demands for exceptional communications. Writing takes focus, time, and skill. It requires knowledge of the intended audience which, at times, requires research to focus the message. It requires an appreciation for the nuances of communication, factors that are related to culture and climate, the environment of the message. It requires the capacity to ask and answer important questions. It requires the ability to deliver in the written form on an emotional and not only on a factual level.

Clarity is essential to effective communications, as well as grasp of the fundamentals of formal standards of written communication.

My writing skills target the needs of busy professionals who desire polished proposals, reports, and communications but that do not have the skills or the time to…

• Research the topic
• Develop a structure or outline
• Use formal language to develop a personalized message
• Use professional writing styles and standards such as the MLA Style | Modern Language Association

I am a prolific grant proposal writer, having developed award-winning proposals to the following:

• Federal government on behalf of the State of Louisiana
• Foundations at the national, State, and local level
• Philanthropists

Most organizations and groups require reporting to an accrediting agency or an organizational authority. While many avoid this type of writing, I enjoy it.

Professional writing services can enhance your brand, broaden your appeal, and strengthen your organization through clear communications.

Examples of my writing experience can be found in my CV and my dissertation.
