"Leslie is an outstanding writer. She's always punctual, enthusiastic, conscientious, and quick to grasp new subject matter. She writes well in both long form and short form – and never misses deadlines." -Kent Graham, ACD, Meredith Xcelerated Marketing
I've been a freelance writer in the Detroit area since February 1996. I've loved every moment of it. Well. Nearly.
I specialize in all kinds of writing for clients. While I began my career in the print world, I thrive in both print and digital spheres. Even the digital world influences print now with tighter, more relevant copy everywhere. Still ... great writing flourishes anywhere it's planted.
