I have been the president and CEO of my own company for over 30 years, with extensive experience in advertising, marketing and customer relations. It is my opinion that "spell-check" has been the downfall of the English language. Just because you have spell-check on your computer, doesn't mean that the document you composed is correct. My biggest pet peeve is people who do not know the difference between to, two and too. I have developed an uncanny ability to pick out spelling and grammar errors in most any published article I read. I am recently retired, which means I no longer start my day at 5am, but still remain very active and would enjoy the opportunity to work with you.

Since graduating, I have helped book authors, poets, blog writers, and website creators refine their work and sharpen their own skills. In addition to providing you with expert feedback on the technical aspects of your writing, I can also provide feedback on graphics, fonts, formats, and other visual elements of your work. When you use my services, you can be assured that you will make the best possible impression on your audience.
