I know my stuff . . .

• PhD in English
• 20 years' experience in communications, publications, writing, and editing
• I've taught writing at Johns Hopkins, Wake Forest , and Florida State Universities
• I've won writing awards and contests, including a Maryland Individual Artist's Award
• I directed publications programs for two nonprofit organizations
  

But I'm not stuffy.

• Copy should be fun, entertaining, informative, provocative—but never hard to read.
