Need someone in Santa Rosa, California to
EDIT YOUR BOOK?
CREATE WEB CONTENT?
PROOFREAD A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION?
I've done proofreading or editing or writing for 30 years. It's what I love to do. I can't seem to get away from it. Whether I'm walking down the street, looking at the menu in a restaurant, or reading the New York Times (they've laid off too many proofreaders), typos just jump out at me. So we might as well put this to work for you.
I’ve always been the person whom they throw files at and say, “Here! I know there are typos; you deal with it.” Or, “Make sure Esther sees that before it goes out!” I’m also great at brainstorming: friends as well as clients bring material or ideas to me and ask, “Can I run this by you?” Other times people come to me and say, “I wrote this piece, but it doesn’t really convey what I want to say. Here are the facts. Can you make it sound interesting and exciting? Oh, and professional, too.” People come to me with a lot of fear. They say, “Oh no! I have to write something! I can’t write! Help!” And I help. I’ve written presentations, ads, case studies, press releases, web content, marketing material, newsletters, bios, serious research papers, and silly poetry. One thing that people have said to me many times over the years is, “Wow! That’s exactly what I was trying to say.” I’ve edited a parenting magazine, written an award-winning article, marketing material and website content for myriad businesses, and edited everything from novels to bios. As a member of the California State Bar, I'm familiar with legal terminology and can combine my writing skill with this familiarity to turn out letters and documents that will get the results you want. Please contact me to discuss your project. I'm always glad to talk shop, and will, if you like, give you my assessment of what is needed and what the next steps are to reach your goals. Finishing Touches Editing is based in Santa Rosa, CA, and I am happy to travel to you within the San Francisco Bay Area. I can also help you no matter where you live via phone or email. Call or email me for a free consultation today: (707) 528-2265 or [email protected] |
"You know, it's hard work to write a book. I can't tell you how many times
I really get going on an idea, then my quill breaks. Or I spill ink all over my writing tunic.” Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is... Thank you, Esther, you are fantastic, your services are making our company more profitable. David Lee, President, DK Landscaping Inc. www.DKLandscaping.com |
