The Writing Doctors Are In! October 14, 2008

In a world of Web sites, blogs, e-mail, electronic records and written proposals, the written word has become just as important as prototype design, contract negotiations or the first handshake. But how do you know your writing is snappy, substantive and spotless?

Enter the writing doctors!

Bring up to three writing samples --- articles, brochures, e-mail, letters, news releases, proposals or other original written work --- and, in a one-on-one consultation, the writing doctors will give you a personal prescription to power-boost your prose. Also enjoy mixing, mingling, tricks and treats.

What's in it for you?
** 20-minute personal writing consultation
** Opportunity to introduce yourself and your business
** Grammar tricks to impress your customers and friends
** Tasty treats and beverages

Presented by:

Annika Hipple, Freelance writer, editor, travel photographer: "I am a freelance writer and editor with more than a decade of experience in editorial work. I have written for a wide range of newspapers, magazines, newsletters, and web sites, and also provide editorial services to businesses and nonprofit organizations. ... As an editor and proofreader, I am an expert at fixing grammatical errors, catching typos, and smoothing out stylistic issues to create a quality editorial product. I can clean up a document without losing the individuality of the writer or streamline a product with multiple authors so that it speaks with a single voice."
