Business Writing
Not everyone enjoys writing. I do. Not only do I like making the words fit the meanings that you want, I like to use any available writing tools to their best advantage and create a living document that adapts to changes without requiring an extensive manual reformatting. I can use MS Word or Wordperfect to create the basic document and I can add charts, graphs, flow diagrams, business images or photos to make the communication crystal clear.
Some possibilities you may want to consider:
- Have me edit or proof read your material (before you incur printing costs!)
- Have me create a first draft that you can mould into your own image
- You don't have time to document your business processes? I can help
- I can help prepare a funding or grant request for you, and set up a process where the next one can be put together much faster
- Is your disaster plan only in your head? Shouldn't it be documented?
- What about your policies and procedures? I can create the basics from what you tell me, fill in the holes, and let you fine tune it.
If you have any questions about how I might be able to help you, please feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail.

| "Technologies" used | English, Grammar, Business Communications skills |
| Specialties | Making technology and complex processes understandable. Use of humour to make subjects more interesting. Document editing and re-writing |
| Locality | Typically, I communicate via email, and occasionally phone. Writing projects work very well from remote locations, as the product can be very easily shared via attachments or web-site posting. For face to face contact, you'd need to be in Oakville or possibly Burlington or Milton. I tried commuting once, and didn't like it. |
