Introduction: I'm a blogger, writer, editor, published poet and proofreader with a heart for helping communicators of all stripes look their best in print, because that's what their efforts deserve. Over the years I've proofed and edited everything from business correspondence to blog posts, memoirs to MA dissertations, resume cover letters and even first novels by teens. On the writing side, I'm a monthly contributor to ReMIND, a games, puzzles and feature articles magazine catering to Boomers or anyone who has one foot in the past, where you'll find me dishing on various subjects such as Liza Minnelli and movie westerns. Or hop on over to the website of Global Hope Network International and learn a few things about goat loan programs and what's in your water from one of my guest posts for this amazing nonprofit. I've also penned short stories, a chapbook of poetry, an essay for "Chick Ink: 40 Stories of Women and Their Tattoos," and am working on a novel. On the editorial side, I can help you catch those little things your computer's spellchecker isn't designed to pick up, or issues with sentence flow and structure, pacing and plot, as well as pesky grammatical glitches. Even the best writers need an impartial eye at times because they're just too close to their own work. Look, as a writer myself, I know it can be scary to entrust your words to someone else. But ask anyone I've worked with and they'll tell you I've never yet yelled at them over a misplaced apostrophe. Seriously! And if for any reason I feel I'm not the best choice for your work, I'll let you know and even see if I can point you in the right direction. That's quite enough about me! Now let's hear about your project.

“Lucie has the amazing ability of editing a document while still allowing the voice of the author to shine through. She not only fixes mistakes in spelling and grammar but also helps ask the right questions when I need to be more clear in what I am saying.” – Anastacia Maness, Rocksolidfamily.com

Our newsletter has been recognized by the Superintendent of the National Park System. Lucie’s piece about Spanish moss was well received by our discerning readers. She has a unique perspective and humorous style of writing. We have requested additional pieces whenever she feels inspired to produce them. - Joyce Dykes, co-editor, "As the Tide Flows," newsletter of Canaveral National Seashore Volunteers in Parks.

I was initially impressed with Lucie's writing samples and decided to give her a shot. The work she turned in for that first assignment so impressed me that I've turned to Lucie numerous times for features (both for print and online). Lucie's been terrific to work with, submitting her articles well before deadline and always top-notch in creativity and style. I highly recommend her. - David Cohea, editor, ReMIND magazine
