How My Skills Can Work For You

How My Skills Can Work For You:

You have important information to share with a community of readers but are having difficulty expressing your thoughts in words. You have an idea formulating that you wish to articulate clearly and concisely, but it comes out full of jargon that your audience won't understand. You've written a solid piece, but the edges are still too rough. You're a left brain thinker who needs a right brain thinker to communicate your thoughts to the world. That's where I step in.

My name is Amanda Jackson. Years of experience working with writing and editing, formulating thoughts into words, polishing out rough spots to make pieces print-ready, softening the hard edges, fitting the piece to capture the audience and create receptivity, is what I do.

Tell me:
• What you need to express
• Who you wish to reach
• The capacity in which you would like your written material to work

I will fashion the written media you present to reflect your best image.

Projects are vast and varied, but may include:
• Translating scientific or legal terminology into more common, yet intellectual
language
• Restructuring numerical data into verbiage readers can navigate with ease
• Scaling big, beautiful concepts into a few practical paragraphs
• Developing a tagline that speaks volumes for your incredible company
• Telling a story you are yearning to share but don't have the time to get onto paper
• Building solid, intelligent website content
• Blogging that is up-to-date, pertinent, interesting, and readable
• Articles needing the magic wand of an editor to help them fly
• Biography for publication that will paint you in the perfect light
• Reviews of books and events
• Outlines for Start-Ups and Non-Profits

If projects like these plague your desk, I am the writer you need.

My skill with words allows me to form and reform ideas, facts, and general information into a medium that is palatable to a broad spectrum of readers.

Every written piece, no matter how big or small, must be handled delicately, with astute attention, care, creativity, and consciousness. As a writer, I offer these skills to the people for whom I write and the world they touch.
