I’ve done a lot of writing and editing for a variety of businesses and organizations. My style is straightforward; I’m good at sounding like a real person. Unless indicated, I posted PDFs because web links can go dead or change.

Social Media
I’ve done Twitter, LinkedIn, Google, and Facebook DWA, but I can’t disclose those here. I also did Facebook posts for the Bill Moller Show on WGN Radio. I came up with the idea to take pictures of every guest and post them online (which hadn’t been done for that show before):

- Bill Moller and Paul Lisnek (CLTV host)
- Bill Moller and Movie Critics
- Bill Moller and Restaurant Owners
Reports, Summaries, Emails
- I have written emails, reports, and summaries for companies, but since they’ve contained private information, I am not able to post them here.
