the word doctor

Hire the Word Doctor -- for as little as one hour -- and I will cure your writing problem.

I'm a freelance writer, editor and webmaster in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

I specialize in clear, simple, powerful writing -- big jobs or small, from business letters to web content to books. I can generate new text based on your ideas, or polish what you have already written. Quick turnarounds (often the same day!) pose no problem.

Recent magazine piece: Science Contours
A profile of Joel Cohen, writer/producer on The Simpsons.

Sample business letter
An example of the everyday business writing I do. The client provided a quick, rough draft, and I polished it and returned it in about an hour.

Sample media release: Kikimasu launch
A release promoting the launch of the newest addition to the Kokopelli family of choirs (and, hey, if you know any young kids who like to sing, print it off and pass it along!).

Sample website: Democracy Derailed
NOTE: This website is not "live" -- so a few links and features no longer work -- but I designed, wrote and maintained it for two years following the publication of the bestselling book by Kevin Taft (former leader of Alberta's Liberal opposition). I also worked closely with Kevin throughout the process of researching, writing and editing Democracy Derailed. The Edmonton Journal's Todd Babiak called it "an important and vital book that every Albertan should read."
