I am a great writer, and I work quickly and efficiently within a deadline. Though deadline driven, I also exceed at long range planning and the marketing necessary to attain your goals. I am also known for finding an almost-exact match of funds for your project needs, professional interests, and staff skills. My fortes are research, proposal and academic writing; I write quickly and my first effort is usually best, eliminating the cost of editing. I know APA format and other editing standards. Having managed engineers and participated in technical project development, I can write the technical materials myself if I need to, and am expert at interviewing developers and converting their engineering-ese into everyday prose. I like quick turnaround and the pressure motivates me. I pride myself on getting a project successfully out the door, on time, on budget, and with happy team members, management and customers.
