About Ken
"The Abrams main battle tank requires no words, written or spoken, when it fires its main gun..." (Ken's words)
You, on the other hand, require the right words to create the effects you want.
Consider for a moment how I can benefit your business and your clients.
I'm a freelance writer with extensive experience writing prose and corporate literature. Although my education is business administration emphasizing corporate finance, my work experience involved beaucoup business writing. After serving in the U.S. Army as an admin clerk (in armored units, as you might guess!) in Europe, the Middle East and multiple stateside posts, I received an honorable discharge in 1994. I then completed a bachelor of science for business administration (finance) from the University of Southern California in 1997.
Employment as a contact center office clerk with T. Rowe Price Associates, Security First Group and Charter Communications required extensive written reporting. By developing job aid manuals and procedures, I was able to write for the needs of management and staff training. My specialty is instruction manual preparation for hard copy as well as intranet text. Therefore, I can prepare your top-notch business copy.
You need concise copy, easily-read by staff for training and communication purposes. You, as a business leader, want timely, easy-to-read text. Smooth, clear copy by deadline - no hitches... Right? But what about creative ad copy?
Marketing and promotional phrasing require a bit more creativity than technical writing skills demand. I'm not talking "creativity for its own sake." You want effective ads that sell the product (or service) and improve your bottom line. Fine and dandy! You'll get that too. But remember, solid foundation is important.
Without solid writing style, creativity is wasted. Thus, you may also want a skilled proofreader and editor - hats I can also wear for you.
I look forward to "hearing" from you, so we can discuss solutions for your business.
