I am available for a variety of writing projects, from managing social media accounts as your ghostwriter to adding regular content to your website's blog, from dissertation/book editing to writing forewords/afterwords if my degrees and expertise can add credence to your book's focus area. In addition, I have specialized training in writing/ editing marketing materials and curriculum for K-12 as well as at the collegiate and professional journal levels! 

I am happy to talk with you about what you need and to find a way to fit into your budget and to agree on a deadline that works for you, even if that deadline is yesterday!
