Professional Writing for Your Site
How many words are there on an ideal Web page? It is better to be formal or casual? Should I use traditional grammar and style? How do I add keywords for search engines (SEO)? Writing for the Web is different than anything else, and many business writers haven’t learned how to make the most of the medium.
As a specialist in communications and public relations, I spent years working in all facets of traditional media — print, publishing, speechwriting, media relations, digital design. I learned how to produce highly-focused text in a variety of styles.
Since then, I’ve focused on Web writing and editing business text for the Web.
Site Proofing & Editing
Got drafts? Need a sharp editor’s eye to catch everything from typos and runons to grammar and style? I’ve worked with writers to focus their copy, and I can hone your site’s words into lean, effective prose.
