Introduction: Writing and editing are my passion! I remember the excitement I felt when I saw my first article in print in 1972. With over 2,000 articles and short stories published now, I still get that same feeling of joy. I would love to help you with your work. My work has been published in many places including the following: Baptist Bulletin, The Gospel Herald and The Sunday School Times, The Joe Niekro Foundation (non-profit), Union Gospel Press, and the University of Michigan Health Blogs. I'm an experienced writer and editor. I had my own magazine column for twenty years. I've published numerous fiction stories and feature articles. I complete two Sunday school curriculum assignments a year for a non-denominational publisher and also write for a non-profit. I co-wrote a book with a missionary and edited a book for a pastor. I have edited fiction and nonfiction books, short stories, and articles. Kimberlee Kiefer works with me. Her outstanding credentials include graduating Summa Cum Laude from Spring Arbor University in 2012 with departmental honors and a Bachelor of Science degree in professional writing. During her college years she was lead copy editor for the student run newspaper. Since graduating Kimberlee has extensively edited six non-fiction published books, research reports and many articles. Her skills also include nonfiction articles, newsletters, essays, cover letters, resumes, and web content writing. She has been the ghost writer for one book and three research articles. Together we have edited several books for Thumbtack clients. Not only do I love writing myself, I am also passionate about helping others write. I taught creative writing on a high school level. It has been a fantastic feeling to help others get their work published. We both enjoy working on Thumbtack. Every new client is an adventure. A new manuscript is like a Christmas gift! We Would love to help you edit your work, fiction or nonfiction.

Working with Donna is an absolutely fantastic experience. Not only does she ensure your piece is perfectly polished, but she also takes the extra time and effort to make sure you're comfortable with the changes she makes and understand why they make your work better. She not only helps make your work stronger, but she helps you become a better writer as well.

Donna writes articles and FB posts for the Joe Niekro Foundation. She doesn't miss deadlines and her writing is beautiful. She is able to draw the readers in and they are able to relate to her writings. She is very caring and light hearted which keeps the reader engaged.
