I can help with everything from reports to letters to media releases to strategy documents. I will work with you to create documents that are warm, elegant and have integrity. — Mary McLaughlin
"One of the few things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time... give it, give it all, give it now.”
― Annie Dillard, The Writing Life
