What falls under the heading of "business communications"? Just about anything you do to communicate in your business--from letters to induce sales to reports for your boss. From brochures to newsletters to proposals, you need your words to reflect the exact message you need to get across.
Words can help or hurt your business, depending on their ability to get your point across, when:
You want your readers to TAKE ACTION!
You want your readers to BUY YOUR PRODUCT!
You want your readers to PICK UP THE PHONE!
You want your readers to UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAY!

MORE TESTIMONIALS FROM SATISFIED CLIENTS
"Heidi opened the door to book publishing for me. My book of poems
is a testament to her diligence, wisdom, and her sensitivity. Specifically,
her knowledge of how to craft and complete a book project is unparalleled.
Heidi is thorough, fun, and reasonable, and I highly recommend her for any
project that requires a high degree of professionalism involving editing,
proofreading, or any aspect of book publication."
- Bruce Grossman, psychologist, author of We Go On Living, Taos, NM, 2007
"I never really thought I needed a
professional editor until I heard Heidi at a writers' conference. When she
said, “You cannot be your own editor because you're too close to the story,” I
realized how true that was. At our initial consultation, she pointed out a
descriptive phrase I'd used twice within the first few pages of the work.
Through numerous re-writes, I had not noticed those repetitions—nor had the
half dozen others who had read the work. I am impressed by both her skill and
her integrity."
- Jim Boyle, author of Ni'il: The Awakening, Gold Beach, OR, 2006
