Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: A professional performer currently based out of Williamsburg, VA, I naturally have a great passion for the arts. Hand in hand with the arts, however, is clear and effective communication. As a writing consultant, I use this passion for clarity and artistry to both understand the specific needs of the piece and produce the tone required. In my editing work, I make sure to keep personal style in tact while polishing grammar and structure. I have experience in a wide array of academic and professional areas where peers and superiors alike have commended the level and quality of my writing. With definite proficiency, a keen attention to detail, and a work ethic to match, I ensure a positive experience and satisfying product for my clients. I am wildly curious and love learning in all varieties. Working on writing projects with clients from all sorts of backgrounds and professional areas means learning many new stories and areas of expertise, all the while helping them to best shape the sound and perception of their projects.

Marjie provided administrative support in our non-profit organization. This ranged from the mundane stuffing and stamping envelopes, to the creative organizing of events from beginning to end, to the complicated collection and analysis and presentation of data. Other responsibilities included management of a sometimes unwieldy database, email and phone communications with our constituency, and note-taking and report-writing of internal and external meetings. Marjie has performed superbly and enthusiastically in all areas. To get to a quality work product, she asks the right questions and seeks guidance at the right times, while still balancing initiative and autonomy. Her work ethic is strong and exemplary, and you will not find another teammate with more grace, graciousness, commitment, discipline, and creativity.

Marjie is a talented writer with an excellent ability to stay true to the voice of the respective organization she is servicing. Our theatre company would not have been able make the strides we have without Marjie's skills and abilities.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    $25/hour. As a young professional, my rates are generally lower than others in the field, but my rate is negotiable.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I first discuss with the client what the project is, what their specific service needs are, and the ultimate impression they'd like their project/product to have. We discuss what is most important to them about the piece, and, if applicable, what they see as needing the most improvement. Typically, a project will require a couple rounds of drafts, with full consultation with the client on each. However, certain projects may only require one clean edit. This part of the process is completely dependent on each client's specific needs, and I am perfectly willing to work within any given parameters.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have a Bachelor of Arts from Barnard College of Columbia University. I had the most incredible writing instruction while at the school, and in many disciplines.
