Finding the right words
As a freelance writer, my job is to help you express yourself clearly and eloquently. Throughout my career, my employers and clients have told me that I “get it” – I understand what they’re trying to communicate, and I put it into words that accurately express what they want to say.
In my view, the writer’s job is
- to present the subject or topic in the clearest and best light;
- to explain without assuming any prior knowledge of the topic; and
- if persuasion is required, to persuade honestly: state the truth with clarity, conviction, and enthusiasm.
Great writing should both demonstrate and foster clear thinking. It should also get out of the way: the best writing calls attention to the subject or message, not to itself.
