About Me
I taught college writing for 18 years, then thought better of it and became a freelance writer. So
not only can I bring the jargon and voice that academic audiences love, but I can write like a
normal person too. I have experience with SEO, business writing, health care and marketing,
and also offer ghostwriting and editing. Mature content acceptable, in fact welcome.
