Word processors can be responsible for producing a good deal of flabby writing. The words come out of you like toothpaste sometimes. There's no shortage of sheer wordage in America; more sentences are not what this country needs. —Garrison Keillor
Reasons you could use a freelance copy editor, copywriter or ghostwriter . . .
In the business world:
A full-time staff copy editor doesn't exist in your company; current staff members lack the required skills and the necessary time to edit . . . and time means money!
Well-written and concise documents will be read!
Written documents reflect the image and intentions of your company and its personnel, and representing quality products and services through professionally produced company documents means increased profits!
A tarnished reputation - resulting from sloppily written documents - costs your company in repeat customers and respect.
Great documents aren't just written . . . they're rewritten!

"Nancy Johanson is one of the most creative and dedicated communications professionals that I have ever had the opportunity to work with. While I was the CEO of a medical information company, Nancy was my "right hand partner" in formulating communications with our customers and business partners . . . a very challenging task, in light of the esoteric terminology involved in a fashion that grabs the reader's attention and effectively engages them in the content. This comes from both her considerable depth of creative talent and her empathy for people and concern that they receive the very best of her efforts. Nancy's attention to detail and commitment to meeting deadlines are also valuable assets. I highly recommend her as a top level professional." —Mark Collins, Vice President, Korn/Ferry International
