Talking Tree Tales

Introduction: My name is Joseph Davis. I am the founder of Talking Tree Tales of Nashville, Tennessee Ghost Writer: Since 2015, I have completed two books. One was A Year of Thanksgivings, a memoir for which my client's mother did all the talking, and I did all the writing. The other is a privately printed tribute book a man commissioned me to write for his brother. For each book, I conducted interviews, edited the transcriptions, and organized the chapters. Business Writer: In 2016, I wrote the timeline for the Cumberland Heights Treatment Center in Nashville for a brochure celebrating their fiftieth anniversary of operation. This project involved much research and compiling of data from various sources. I have designed and led multiple fund-raising campaigns and written letters to encourage support from volunteer donors for the non-profits for which I have worked. Editor and proofreader: I regularly edit and proofread newsletters for non-profit organizations. Speech Writer and Speaker: I am a professional public speaker. I have written and delivered multiple speeches, sermons, and lectures for general audiences. My sense of humor and ability to listen well help me to work with clients and inspire them to tell me their stories. I seem to gave a gift for finding the story in the event. If something significant happened to you, and you want to write about it, I can help you tell the story. My experience as an English major in college, an 8th grade English teacher, and book author and publisher have sharpened my skills in the English language and its grammar. I always try to think of ways to improve my own writings and those of other people. English Tutoring: I particularly enjoy helping people learn to write better, because clear language helps us think better. I use humor and creative techniques to convey grammatical concepts. My knowledge of Latin, Greek, and French aids my understanding of English words and language in general. I have tutored students in middle school in English and Latin, and I have helped a Chinese doctor improve his speaking and writing.
