Profile

How did you hear about Smaller Indiana?: Friend

What is your greatest strength?: Writing copy that people enjoy reading, even if it's in an annual report or a company brochure. My PR experience is a valuable asset here. Most of my 20 years' experience has been in non-profits, but I also have for-profit clients.

What are you working on?: A brochure for a heart center, Web copy for an international membership organization and an e-newsletter. And always, business development!

How big is your business?: Self-employed

What is your Job Title: Owner

What is your Personal Website?: http://www.writingforreading.com

What is your alma mater?: IUPUI

Why join Smaller Indiana? What are you hoping to experience here ?: I'm hoping to hear ideas from other freelancers and business owners, get to know (even electronically) other Indiana professionals and perhaps find a freelancing job or two.
