Thanks for checking out my writing samples.
I sometimes provide writing and editing for the web (for websites, blogs, and social media communications). I have also written, edited, and managed the development of educational materials, brochures, newsletters, email blasts, and other marketing materials.
In addition to this website as a writing sample, below are some samples of writing I’ve done for others.
Caveats about samples:
- The client is the ultimate decision-maker on word usage, style, and spending limits.
- I’m providing live links to websites, but web copy may get changed by others later. I will remove samples when I notice things have changed significantly from what I wrote. (The following samples are current as of 3/7/10.)
