My non-fiction writing:

Do you need high quality content, copywriting or editing done to your specifications? Do you need a writer or editor who uses impeccable English, has a smooth style yet is versatile as well, a writer versed in the principles of psychology? Then you've come to the right place!

My number one goal is client satisfaction. To that end I take great pride in my dependability and in producing high-quality work, free from grammar, spelling, syntax and punctuation errors.

I have had quite a few years' experience in professional writing/editing for various organizations. From annual newsletters to grant proposals to federal progress reports and much more, my writing talent has encompassed a wide range of projects, including editing the works of upper level managers and CEO's. 

My knowledge base is quite broad as I've been a voracious reader all my life and have taught ADHD high school students in English, Chemistry, Biology and Algebra, and college students in How to be a Master Student, General Psychology, Child Development, Adolescent Development and Life-span Development. My grasp of various scientific fields is excellent, especially in the behavioral science area. However, I am more than capable of writing in a variety of other fields. My research skills are also excellent, and I am a quick learner, able to follow directions and deadlines without any trouble whatsoever. My comprehension ability is second to none.

Those are my strengths. My weaknesses are as follows: 1) being something of a perfectionist, 2) being compulsive about dependability and 3) being rather critical of those who don't believe in giving their employer full value for their compensation.

Now that all my cards are on the table, so to speak, basically what I am offering you is extremely high quality, accurate writing guaranteed to satisfy your needs, and for less money than larger companies. Since my own expenses and needs are simple, I can pass that savings on to you.

 Following are links to some of the articles I've written for ezinearticles.com, having earned their (not so) prestigious "expert author" designation. (However, being a rather compulsive proofreader, I have found quite a few grammatical and punctuation errors in the articles produced by other ezinearticles.com and ehow.com authors, as well the ezinearticles team itself.) Click on any of the following titles to go to that article's specific site.

"Taking Care of Your Kidneys' Health Is Vital for Your Own Wellbeing"

"How to Think Your Way to Happiness:  The Rational Emotive Approach"

"A Walk a Day Keeps the Doc Away"

The health and fitness niche has been of considerable interest to me for a long time, and a topic of my writings, as the article titles above indicate. I find especially interesting the whole brain-body system approach, or holistic wellness if you will, which translates into the interaction between mental and physical health. As the ancient Greeks said (what didn't they say?), "Mens sana in corpore sano," translated as, "a healthy mind in a healthy body."

The travel and outdoor industries also figure prominently in my background and expertise. With all the years of hiking, biking, fishing, boating, etc. that I've engaged in, I can produce content and copy that really speak to the inner sportsperson in all of us. (Well, maybe most of us; we really can't include the couch potatoes now, can we?)

However, my native intelligence enables me to quickly understand and write about quite a few other fields of endeavor as well. All you can do is ask, and I will tell you quite honestly if I feel competent enough in a particular niche to perform the writing or editing you need. I do not believe in misleading anyone, especially since (1) I refuse to provide anything less than my best work, and (2) it doesn't work, anyway.

Where would I be without my support team?
