"By truly listening to what it was I wanted to convey,
Mary Ann transformed my disjointed thoughts and
created a concise and flowing expression of those
thoughts in writing. This saved me a lot of time and
energy and now I can use this in whole or in part for
all my written work.

Promotional Writing

I have written business profiles or advertorials for a variety of enterprises including restaurants, a health food store, a lingerie shop, a maternity shop, a tow truck business, a jeans store, a hot tub store, a window store, car dealerships, an astrologer. The list goes on. In each case I helped to promote the very best aspects of their businesses to a discriminating, buying public.
 
There are several ways I can do the same for you through:
press releases (informative);
brochure (educational);
letters to your clients (keeping in touch);
newsletter - internal or client based (sharing news, keeping informed);
business profile (sharing the essence of your business).

"We found Mary Ann to be very professional in her
approach to our customers, in getting them to open up
and in filing her stories on time. She was well received
by all her peers here at the paper... It was a
pleasure to work with Mary Ann and we wish her
all the best.

Editing

Have you written the story of your business but it needs polishing? Are you writing a novel, short story, personal essay or poetry and need help preparing it for submission. As an experienced editor, I will help you create a piece you will be proud to send out - to your clients or a publisher. (If you haven't started and would like to, see One to One Writing Coaching.)
 
"Mary Ann Moore critiqued the first story I ever sent
to a writing contest. The story promptly won second prize.
Talk about a miracle start to my writing career! She spotted
the weak spots immediately and explained exactly what was
wrong with them. Without her valuable input, I doubt the
story would have even made it into the honorable mention category.
