Welcome to Write Solutions.....

I started this venture in 1996 because I had an interesting idea that I could build a business while my infant son was napping.

I was a little naive about that--but the infant is now over 6 feet tall, and I'm still doing what I love to do.

"Passionate idealist" is probably the phrase that best describes me. I have a passion for information equity, public health and science, clear communication, and plain language. I'm an intersectional feminist and antiracist activist in lifelong training, a friend to members of the LGBTQIA community, and an advocate for racial, economic, social, and environmental justice. I believe words can remake the world, and my work reflects that belief.

Over the course of my career, I’ve had the honor of writing for U.S. Presidents, Ambassadors, Cabinet Secretaries, and Surgeons General. I've also written for elementary school kids and people who struggle with literacy.

All of my clients get the same level of attention and service. I'll be happy to prove that to you.

My favorite challenge as a writer is to take complicated information and make it accessible to the people who need it.

That's why I focus on public health and science. It takes experience and skill to translate medical and scientific information for lay audiences. That translation is key to empowering people to take charge of their health and to creating a healthier and more just world.

But my passion for clear communication can be applied to any field or audience. Contact me when you need help writing:

• Digital content

• Education/marketing materials

• Grant and contract proposals

• Op-eds

• Presentations

• Press statements and media advisories

• Reports

• Speeches/Keynotes

• Talking points

• Training materials

• Video scripts

Two things can undermine all your communication efforts: inaccurate information and confused audiences. I can help you avoid both.

I provide background research, identify reliable sources, and fact-check your materials. When I'm finished, you'll get information that is accurate, useful, and translated into plain language.
