For Sale/Hire

"That press release was bloody brilliant, Andy!"

For Sale slash Hire: my talent.  Well, it's really for rent.  But don't worry, you're going to love it!  

But Andy, what can your talent do for me? 

In a word: yes. I like to call it transmogrification (for the laity among you... sigh.  it's editing). 

Yes, I can probably do that, which you are seeking.  Things I'm good at (this list is far from exhaustive)... Jazzing up your crushingly dry copy.  Emblazoning your newsletter with wit and cheer.  Dashing that press release with a good measure of social cred while retaining your important commercial message!  I also offer corporate jet solutions.  But let's focus on the writing.  

Bona fides, you ask?  How about I slap down these degrees for starters (BA Russian, Masters International Relations).

SLAP!  [pregnant pause]
While we're waiting for the dust to settle, I can tell you about my non-academic training:

      - 3 years editing/publishing AF technical documents.

      - 5 years writing/publishing my own short stories (please see Stories tab).

      - 32 years listening to my father's prattlings on the intricacies of modern
        (and...sometimes Olde) English.  Participles don't dangle in my world.
        I fix them with an icy stare and they chin-up themselves right quick.  

You want edgy?  I'm so edgy I'll cut you.  A great deal.  You want dull?  Please God, no.
