"I have contracted with many writers and editors on various projects, but I never had anyone in your profession produce such high quality work, and do so BEFORE the assigned deadline. My expectations of your work were high, and you have exceeded them. You are a master of the written word. Your keen knowledge of business, coupled with your firm grip of the English language, makes you a rare and valuable commodity."

Write and publish books and articles to increase your business and personal success.

If you are an consultant, coach, entrepreneur, small business owner, or other professional, your success depends to a significant degree on how well you are known and respected in your field.

One of the best ways to increase your visibility, credibility, and marketability is to write and publish books, articles, and newsletters.

  • When you become an author, people will view you as an expert in your field.
  • Your books and articles will effectively present your message around the clock around the year, so that people will come to you predisposed to buy.
  • New opportunities will open up for you to speak to groups, present seminars, and appear on radio and TV.

Writing and self-publishing a book is a good investment. (Read more about becoming an author and see cost estimates for self-publishing.)

"Michael, writing a book with you has been the one of the best moves I've made at this stage in my career. The impact in terms of visibility and credibility has been huge. Now when I'm introduced to people, I'm not only a business coach and consultant, I'm also an author.

"As a direct result of the book, my speaking engagements have increased almost 50 percent. Many of the organizations who invite me to speak buy my book and give it to the attendees. That, of course, brings in additional revenues and further promotes my services.

"On several occasions, it's opened doors to profitable new business. In fact, before the first copy of the book was in my hands, it had already brought in two new consulting contracts that more than paid for its cost."

Choosing a writer/editor involves an element of risk.

The wrong writer will waste your time and money, miss your deadlines, and damage your credibility.

The right writer will accomplish your goals, save you time, and make you look good.

5 Key Qualities to Look for When Hiring a Professional Writer
(So You Don't Make a Costly Mistake!)

 

I'll put both sides of my brain to work for you.

When you hire me as your writer or editor, I'll use my right-brained writing skills (see writing samples) to creatively craft your message so it gets noticed and gets results.

I'll use my left-brained organizational skills (MBA from Columbia Business School and extensive professional experience) to expertly manage your communications projects so they come in on time and on budget.

I'm right-brained and left-brained, but not hair-brained!

You can see that from my photo! On the contrary, I'm highly focused.

My goal is to help you accomplish your goals.

My mission is to express your thoughts in your voice, while saving you time and money.

My commitment is to meet or exceed your expectations — guaranteed!
