 I have been a professional writer for more than three decades, producing technical and marketing materials for engineers, architects, and other professionals. My approach to all projects is:
- Listen and learn from my client about the topics to be covered and the audiences to whom we will communicate.
- Work with my client to plan content, delivery methods, and the draft-and-review process.
- Work with my client as we go through the agreed-upon draft-and-review process to create the planned communication products.
