Writing Services

July 27, 2010

Start with an idea. Figure out where to get releveant information about that idea. Research it thoroughly. Sort through and comprehend the data. Refine the results to the most significant points. Create a thoughtful and fresh setting for the information. Present it in an appealing package.

That’s what I do as a freelance writer and the services I can provide for you. My background is in newspaper journalism with experience in government and business realms. I deliver meticulous research, accurate details, creative writing – on deadline and with a smile.

After dabbling in freelance writing for several years, I moved to part-time work in July 2009. The service grew beyond my expectations and since the beginning of the year, I have been fully supported by writing. If you’re interested in these services, or know of a business or organization that is looking for a writer, please get in touch with me at susan@susanmires.com.
