Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I genuinely care about clients which has often led me to hear the "story" they intend to communicate to their customers or readers. "Story" is often the missing piece to help a client stand out, to bring home their success. On a more mundane level, I am a meticulous editor with training and certification in proper grammar, usage and publishing standards. My own communication skills help my clients soar. Clients are often amazed by ways that I can help them -- with strategies that are second-nature for me -- so I really like the benefit my services offer.

Actually it's too early to tell. But so far I like what I have seen.
Elissa Field - In the Company of Words's reply
A testimonial provided to me separately by this client on 8/1/15: “Elissa is a professional of the highest calibre. She offers many skills and attributes. She is a virtuoso of language, words, grammar and the craft of writing. She has keen insight and knowledge of the publishing industry and the role social media plays in it. Elissa is someone you can count on. She loves what she does. As do I. I am a first time author, that was struggling to navigate the publishing industry and social media. Without Elissa, I would still be lost at sea amidst unforeseen storms and changing tides. Elissa's value extends beyond posting content on Facebook or Twitter. Elissa is a strategist and planner. She is a content expert, a valued teacher and trusted advisor. Her writing and teaching skills coupled with her knowledge of social media, makes her a unique and most welcomed resource. Elissa is someone you can trust to bring your prized literary work to market in an effective and strategic manner. She is reliable, dependable, a delight to work with and very very good.”
