Legal Correspondence and Document Writer & Legal Transcriptionist
LEGAL CORRESPONDENCE DEPO SUMMARIES TRANSCRIPTION...AND MORE
- My inherent writing talent enabled me to draft letters and documents on behalf of attorneys. My legal background* and extensive current work as a professional speechwriter and book ghostwriter make me uniquely suited to support attorneys.
- During my time working as a civil litigation secretary, I also routinely transcribed audio from my attorney bosses. I have great facility with language, including legal terminology, and I type very fast with accurate output.
Correspondence and Email Writer
GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE & emails
- As a former personal assistant* and current professional ghostwriter and speechwriter, I can naturally write letters and emails that are beautifully composed, powerful, formal or conversational, and always perfectly suited to their purpose.
Profile Writer
NEWSLETTER CONTENT/PROFILE FEATURES
- When I first returned to Los Angeles after living in Nashville during the 1990s, I worked first as a personal assistant and then transitioned to my career as a professional writer. I began my career writing content for IATSE and Teamster union newsletters. I interviewed below-the-line Film/TV workers and wrote profile articles for their union newsletters. I later compiled many of those profile features into a book of my own, entitled Making Hollywood Magic: Secrets of Studio Work. My background as a profile writer* combined with my current work as a biographer ghostwriter and speechwriter makes me uniquely suited to write about people for any format.
- Extraordinary people--and ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell. In my many years as a biographer, I have discovered the most remarkable stories in the most unlikely places. I have profiled in stories and books people from all walks of life, workers from a variety of industries, and immigrants from different countries. I have found courage, nobility, humanity, vulnerability, excellence, and many other remarkable and inspiring human traits waiting just beneath the surface. To truly see, understand, recognize, and profile someone as they really are is one of the greatest joys and honors of my life and career.
Customer Satisfaction Story Writer
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION STORIEs
- During my time working for a market research firm*, I worked on various B2B research projects which entailed interviewing various heads of construction companies. I asked them questions related to their satisfaction and experience with a certain heavy equipment manufacturer. (I conducted similar interviews for other clients of the market research firm, as well.) My innate ability to get people to open up, my deep understanding of human nature, my capacity to understand all that is being said--and left unsaid--makes these type of projects especially enjoyable and well-suited for me.
Interviewer and Summary Writer
INTERVIEWS WITH SUMMARIES
- During my time working for a market research firm*, I worked on various B2B research projects which entailed interviewing a subject and then writing up a summary. That background combined with my current work interviewing clients and writing speeches and books for them puts me in an ideal position to interview your customers/clients and writing up summaries for you. I have spent hundreds of hours interviewing people over the years.
Press Release & Back Cover Copy Writer
PRESS RELEASES & back cover copy for books
- Throughout my career, I have written many press releases related to events and happenings. I also routinely write back cover copy for my ghostwriting clients' books. Both types of writing entail writing with an epic sweep and building drama. I greatly enjoy writing in that style and have a natural aptitude for it. Having written so many press releases and so much back cover copy writer, I am very familiar with the parameters of both formats.
Content Writer
WEBSITE COPY AND SALES COPY
- Over the years, I have written all copy for my own websites (including this one). My decades of professional writing and editing experience combine with my lifelong love of drawing and art to enable me to create simple websites like this one.
- As I have become more and more comfortable creating my own websites, I have read and studied experts who have taught me to write with the customer/client in mind. This enables me to write compelling sales copy.
