The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

WRITING & editing SERVICES

By Lauren Smolen Johnson

It's never too late to add communications to the list of things your business or organization does well.


Mistakes in your writing instantly lowers your credibility - harsh, but true! A seemingly harmless typo can detract from your overall message and brand. Getting your words across clearly and without distracting errors shows you're confident in what you offer and that you care about your audience.


I can help! I specialize in comprehensive spelling, grammar and punctuation reviews, plus writing and editing for clarity, consistency and readability. The English language is complex and has many nuances that AI will miss. My recommendations will be thoughtful and align with your audience, your brand and your goals.


I write and edit many different styles of communications, from informal to technical and everything in between. What I offer ranges from quick disaster checks on the way to the printer to large-scale rewrites of entire websites. Basically, I'll correct and improve anything with words on it at any stage of your project, or I can write something new from your existing content. 


It's amazing what more than a second set of eyes can save you in re-printing costs or headaches in the long run. Let me show you the value of having a communications professional in your corner. 


Consider using my services to refine your: websites, advertisements, customer communications, social media content, real estate listings, restaurant menus, signage, presentations, internal communications, proposals, contracts, manuals, forms, newsletters, flyers, magazine/newspaper articles, transcriptions and more

I'm eager to put my experience to work for you
