Hey there. I’m David.
I’m a professor of English, a technical writer, and a freelance editor with nearly 20 years’ experience working with a wide range of clients on nonfiction writing of all types.
I work with writers like you to ensure that what you intend to say and what your audience hears are one and the same. High-stakes communication, where a lot is riding on the success or failure of a report, proposal, application, or article, can be stressful—but with my help, you can approach any writing project with confidence.
Let me help you with your next project!
I make arguments more powerful,
such as when I helped a major public university’s School of Business put together their AACSB accreditation reports, assisting them in smooth reaccreditation process. The two reports, which collected writing and data from over a dozen contributors and spanned over 150 pages, required absolute precision and consistency, which I provided, freeing up the lead authors to focus on crafting their case.
“David’s help was invaluable and made a high-stress situation manageable. Knowing that we had him keeping track of the countless small details and ensuring that we never lost sight of the big picture was instrumental to our success.”
—Elizabeth A, accounting faculty
I make information more precise,
such as when I helped a tabletop gaming startup hone their debut release. Not only did I help draft the instruction booklet and proofread the game’s cards—I also helped compose their Kickstarter campaign. The result? The project attracted 340 backers, was funded for more than 300% of the initial goal, and unlocked all its stretch goals.
“We couldn’t have done it without David! He found a thousand tiny ways to optimize our instructions and saved us from some potentially expensive printing errors.”
—Jonathan G, owner
I make presentations more polished,
such as when I helped an Alaskan construction firm craft a proposal for a state-funded, $30M evacuation and access road project benefitting a remote village endangered by climate change. I collaborated with their lead writer to analyze the RFP as well as previous submissions by competing firms, to outline an effective structure for their pitch, and to design a professional final document.
“By far the best proposal we’ve done.
Finished product looks great and well worth the money.”
—Dan H, president
