Service Description:
I offer top-quality writing and editing in a variety of different genres, ranging from dissertation to poetry. Professionalism, readability, acute understanding of audience, and flawless mechanics define my work, which is quite reasonably priced for such services, I must say.

Political, philosophical, sports, and the grind are some of the subjects on which I most enjoy writing, but I value the challenge of projects in any sort of field. The constant learning of new things is certainly one of the greatest fringe benefits of being a writer. Having worked in both PR and sales, and having studied both propaganda and rhetoric, I also pride myself on the ability to use my voice (and humor, if necessary) for persuasive efforts, as long as I'm promoting something I believe in.

I graduated from Utah State with a BA in English/creative writing, high honors, and a few minor publications already under my belt, including a short story, a major literary critical thesis, a personal essay, and a magazine article read by thousands.

In addition to my academic and creative work, I also spent eight semesters as a consultant in the USU Writing Center and as a rhetoric associate, tutoring students on content, organization, flow, voice, mechanics, and documentation. Upon graduation, I was hired by USU's public relations office, where I continue to work drafting promotions and advertisements for the university. The job also includes editing brochures and other marketing materials and communications, and writing a quarterly feature article for Utah State Magazine.

I also speak fluent Russian, if that helps. Can't hurt, right?

Some of my academic interests are 20th century American literature, linguistics, geography, history, political theory, and Russian everything, including literature, linguistics, geography, history, and political theory. I consider myself well-versed in each of those areas, with especial expertise in certain of them.

More than anything, I love the prospect of making important information accessible to the masses, and I'm excited to continue my education and further contribute to the dissemination of important art and knowledge to the world. And hey, I'm easy to work with. I love this stuff.
