Copy, Content, and Grant Writing
I apply my 20+ years of experience as a government and business paralegal to draft professional and accurate pieces as requested. Examples of this include FAQs for healthcare provider websites and – my specialty – drafting legal articles/blogs for law firms.
I am well versed in research, and perform due diligence on any subject before beginning a writing project, and cite all sources as instructed. I do not condone stealing another’s work, and will never state anything as a fact that can not be verified as such.
I am able to write in professional, informative, relaxed, humorous, and/or imperative (command) tones…or any combination of the above.
Technical and Legal Document Production
My legal background has offered me training on drafting a variety of professional documents including, but not limited to, license agreements, complaints/answers, executive summaries, data analysis reports, municipal bonds, powers of attorney, and contracts. As the Nashville Convention Center’s first Contract Administrator, I wrote the full Standard Operating Procedures for my own position as well as the version of the contracts they use as a template to this day.
Speaking Events and Related Writing
I have spoken at many events around Nashville, TN.
Writing a piece that is intended for people to hear is a different art than writing for people to read. Adjusting inflection can make a sentence of the same words seem completely different. Some situations require full pre-written speeches, some insist on cards, some allow free form…I have experience with each.
I can help by writing on your behalf or with your participation to help you with finding your writing voice.
For samples of my public speaking, please see my Media page.
Workshops/Hosting
I have partnered with producers for a variety of events, many of which were for non-profit organizations. I have offered coaching on communication – written and verbal, writing styles and techniques, and motivation (with a focus on suicide – including losing a loved one to suicide, overcoming traumas, and living with mental disorders).
In March of 2018, I co-produced and co-hosted my first charity fundraiser for suicide awareness: Hope Happens!
