Whatever your writing project, Shenandoah Writing Services can help you make it successful.

Always hook your reader.
That piece of advice came from my mentor. Any piece of writing should begin smartly, drawing in the reader. From there, the piece should flow smoothly and important points first highlighted and then expanded on. The conclusion should be memorable, to help the reader remember your key points or your take-away message.

Writing project options include:

• Annual reports
• Articles
• Brochures
• Corporate Histories
• Letters
• Newsletters
• Press Releases
• Profiles
• Resumes
• Summaries
• Reports
• Reviews
• Testimonials
• Web content

Collaborative writing, also known as ghostwriting, is another option: e-books, non-fiction books and articles.

Some of my clients are located in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Whether you need a piece produced in British English or need American English changed for an Australian audience, I can assure you that your English language preferences will be preserved.

I am comfortable with both AP style and Chicago Manual of Style.

My qualifications:

• Eighteen years of research, writing, and editing experience
• Staff writer/editor for Madison, the magazine of James Madison University, MadisonOnline, and departmental newsletters
• Military training in interviewing and analytical writing
• Military training in descretion and confidentiality
• Able to condense scientific and technical writing into a layperson's understanding
• Adaptable to the "voice" required for a project: formal, powerful, persuasive, or casual
