Protect and Project Your Image
Your business documents should reflect the values and standards of your organization and the quality of the products and services you market. Any letter, handout, or other piece of information you put in the hands of potential clients is, in effect, you. Prospects may not read beyond the first few lines if they lack clarity, succinctness, and impact. A polished presentation can make the difference between a business that flourishes and one that falters or even fails.
Simple Solutions
We can help you to project a first-class, professional image with every document you release, both internally and externally. Every writing or editing project, big or small, has our undivided attention, and we honor your deadlines whether you are a one-person operation or represent a corporation with thousands of employees.
Our network of business writers and editors assist clients in diverse industries such as advertising / marketing, insurance, manufacturing, accounting, finance, investing, real estate, education, retail marketing, book publishing, and information technology. Our project experience includes business-to-business and business-to-consumer promotional writing, letters, newsletters, ad copy, training manuals, business plans, business proposals, grant proposals, and Web content.

Instructional Designer, Writing Consultant, and Grant Writer DEBRA FISHER, M.S.Ed, B.A., is president and owner of an independent education, learning, and communications consulting company that serves both individual graduate learners and institutions of higher education. When working with graduate learners, Debra perceives her role as that of a personal writing coach and academic advisor, providing guidance and encouragement during the prospectus, proposal, analysis, and publication phases of scholarly writing. Whether helping clients brainstorm a researchable thesis; providing theoretical guidance relative to research focus and/or positional development; recommending structural and organizational revisions to enhance the clarity and cohesion of an argument; or editing for grammar, mechanics and punctuation, she customizes her services to meet the specific needs of her clients. More than achieving the completion and committee approval of a scholarly manuscript, clients appreciate Debra's emphasis on the development of skills that help them communicate effectively using all the techniques of good writing—skills that serve them well beyond their graduate program. Debra has enjoyed coaching-advising relationships with hundreds of learners who represent a broad spectrum of academic disciplines, and all have been awarded their graduate degrees. Debra graduated summa cum laude (B.A.) with double majors in English and education from Grand Canyon University, a Christian liberal arts university in Phoenix, Arizona. With a minor in philosophy, critical thinking permeates all her professional work.
