Writer and editor

I am a Harvard-educated professional with over 30 years of experience writing and editing in diverse business and political environments. I have successfully delivered a variety of communications, including news, training, technical documentation, compliance reviews, executive presentations, and expository reports. I have experience with SEO and website enhancement and am an expert at research. I enjoy writing under pressure and never miss an opportunity to identify a grammatical or punctuation error. Recently I have enjoyed working on topics including real estate, financial services, personal finance and investing, transportation, recreation, healthcare, regulation, employee benefits, and the service economy.

"I’m only ending this contract with Leslie to leave her a positive review. We will continue working together outside of the Upwork Platform. Leslie has great communication, and is a very good writer when it comes to Commercial Real Estate. I’ve had her write Location Overviews and Marketing Emails for me and my business and she’s been able to deliver great results within 2-3 days, that require very few rewrites. I’d highly recommend Leslie for anyone who has these requirements."

Portfolio

My client is a high-end investment manager. My task is to write blog posts answering inquiries from potential and current clients, using keywords and backlinking to reputable sources and previous blog posts on the site.
Investment management blog posts
My client wanted an e-book about real estate and wealth accumulation. I created the outline for the project, with a detailed table of contents, providing proposed word counts for each section. After they approved, I drafted each section and presented it for review. Once each piece was complete, I combined the individual sections into a seamless document.
