Writing is not for the faint-of-heart. The English language is a dangerous place to play, especially if you don’t know the difference between affect and effect or what makes an em dash different from an en dash. That’s where The Hired Pen comes in. Here, I take writing very seriously, stepping in to protect you from excessive commas and persnickety prepositions.

But writing and being a writer is MUCH more than understanding grammar and style. It also includes a well-trained ear – one that can decipher nuances of information, question incomplete thoughts and uncover hidden meanings. In short, at The Hired Pen, you’ll be asked questions – lots of them – to provide a context for your project that is clear, actionable and accurate.

The Hired Pen takes on those writing jobs you don’t want, don’t have time or don’t know how to do. I love to write and edit material because it’s like a puzzle; all the pieces have to fit together in a cohesive way…and that’s not always easy.

My job is to make you look good by being on time, on budget and providing high-quality copy. Think of The Hired Pen as your invisible muse with a sense of humor and good timing.
