Writing and Editing

            Ed and Leigh have a whole lot of writing experience in many different media.  After all, we've been at it for a few more years than we probably ought to want to admit.   But the fact is, we love writing, all kinds of writing--fiction, plays, non-fiction, scripts, press kits, PSAs, industrial films, grant proposals... you name it.

             Leigh has written, ghost-written, or contributed chapters to eight mass-market books.  Topics she's written about include:

  • childhood obesity

  • nutrition

  • alternative medicine

  • spirituality

  • death and dying

             She also edits books and creates knock-'em-dead book proposals for aspiring authors.

          Grants - Water, Renewables, etc.

           Leigh has a particular passion for promoting renewable energy and wise-water use in the West.  The Governor's Office of Energy Management and Conservation awarded her a grant to write the State's press kit on bio-mass energy.  In 2006 she collaborated with several water agencies to meet the requirements of a federal grant about water conservation in the West.  Click HERE to see one of the booklets she wrote.

          To satisfy her soul, Leigh has written plays that have been produced in New York, Los Angeles, Baltimore, Washington State, Alaska, Florida and Colorado.

           Ed has written (and photographed) over 500 articles for national automotive magazines including Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road4x4 Power, and Custom Classic Trucks.   We're honored that a television documentary he wrote "Women of the Georgian Hotel" won the EMMY in 1991.   He co-wrote Sex at Work, a book about sexual harassment and gender discrimination in the workplace, published in 2001.    He also writes most of the copy for the websites he designs as well as copy for brochures, press releases and catalogs.

           Yes, we really love to write and we'd love to write for you.   We'll be posting writing samples here as time permits.   Meanwhile, you can read a lot of our words on the websites we've done (see the Website Design page for samples).   Or contact us and we'll be happy to discuss your needs and send a traditional clip book to you.

Let's talk soon!
