I’ve used In the Write Place’s services for website copy, blog posts, and emails. Madeleine is knowledgeable and thorough in her work. She’s a good writer who really understands what I’m trying to say and is helpful at helping me weave my story in with my message. I have received good feedback on the copy she’s helped with. Her gift is writing powerful and successful marketing copy that doesn’t sound like everyone else’s. She’s prompt and reliable. I have also hired her to teach sessions (about storytelling and marketing) to my own coaching clients and she’s been a very engaging, warm and intelligent instructor. I will definitely continue to use her services and recommend her work highly. Tandy Pryor Tandy Pryor Coaching

Erick did a fantastic job editing a manuscript for one of the writers I publish. The manuscript, a large historical fiction novel, was a difficult piece of material to work through yet, Erick still finished on time. He stayed in touch during the project so I knew how things were going. Erick also offered other services which I may use in the future. He has a great understanding of the writing and publishing mechanics which helps a lot in projects like the one I gave him to proof read. I really am pleased with the work he did. I will use him again I am sure of this!

Super fast super friendly!

I am a substitute teacher with a passion for helping others become better at writing and reading. I have tutored K-12th grade students in Language Arts - grammar, reading, writing, and spelling - and enjoy helping others become better writers. I home schooled my own children for six years and am familiar with a lot of different styles of teaching and curriculum.

I am very reasonably priced, I have 25 years of experience, and I am willing to do the right thing for my students. I also have credentials from MIT, Yale, and Berkeley.

I have high ethical and moral standards. I find if something is worth doing, it is worth doing well. I bring this to everything I do in life. I enjoy Project Management. I enjoy the pace, building project schedules, linking resources and work, understanding the potential risks, issues and opportunities and bringing a project home to completion.

Four reasons: 1. I am a professional management consultant. I started consulting with Booz Allen & Hamilton (one of the top firms) after seven years with leading corporations and learned consulting from real masters of the consulting process, true experts in their disciplines. 2. I do not accept work that I cannot do with professional skill and quality and I do not subcontract work to some other consultant whose work I have not seen. 3. I do not accept work that will not have a value to the client of more than three times our charge for the work. 4. I know how to do work that other consultants cannot do: radically increase market share for businesses in mature business-to-business, for example. Mostly I enjoy exceeding my clients' expectations.

I have a different perspective gained from my life experience, a very wide reading of more than fifty years, and of course my academic training. I am naturally impatient with anything short of the best I can do; I feel impelled to keep after a project until it is done to my satisfaction. I am fascinated by the world we live in, and helping people communicate about important aspects of it has to be one of the most important jobs there is.
