Services

I like to think I’m versatile and able to assist on a variety of projects and tasks, due to my diverse experience and general resourcefulness. That said, here are some types of projects and work that I’m particularly interested in.

You’ll also get a better sense of the type of work I’m good at and like to do by checking out my portfolio and recent professional development activities.

Communications

Writing, with a particular focus on plain language
Editing: substantive, stylistic, developmental or copy editing (non-fiction)
Newsletters
Podcasting support
- Guest research, booking, and liaison for your podcast
- Outreach and promo to get you booked as guest

Research tasks and projects

Are you being held back by lack of time to do your due diligence on a purchase?
Do you need someone to gather, summarize and present you with information before you make a key decision?
Surveys
Do you need someone to search and summarize the academic literature on a particular topic?
I can help you with these, as well as other, types of research.

Organizing information – and your life

I love to categorize and organize information so that it’s clearer and easier to use.
For example, do you need your digital files organized so that it no longer takes you 15 minutes just to find the correct versions of your everyday documents?
- These everyday nuisances are the type of thing that sap your creativity and energy: I can help.

Would you be more productive and less frustrated if you had an operating manual for your business or household so that all those bits of information you rely on every day are gathered in one organized and updateable document, allowing you to easily delegate tasks?
- I’d love to create that for you.

This is by no means a comprehensive list. If you don’t see your specific needs, project or task here but would still like to explore working together, please do get in touch.

exceptional editor. Any organization that develops public information and reports, news releases, responds to media
inquiries, or maintains a website would be lucky to have Karen on staff.”
