WELCOME TO TG WRITER!
I was a career newspaper writer and copy editor, working at eight newspapers over 29 years,
and now I'm a full-time freelancer. I'm a terrific editor and a good writer, desktop publisher and photographer.
If you're a writer or
editor of a publication, I can be your best friend. My strengths include tightening, focusing and improving copy. Plus fact-checking.
I once read a mystery novel in which the author said that lyes were the same as acids. Lyes and acids are actually opposites;
they cancel each other out. My wife contacted him, and he said that he knew that lyes and acids are not the same, but he screwed
up, he missed it in galleys, and his editors didn't catch it. I might miss the occasional miscue, but I'd have caught
that one. I wish I could have helped him.
As a writer, I'm concise and precise. I can say a lot in few words,
and my stories make you feel that you were there. You'll feel the heat off the car's engine or see the driver's
bright-red scarf.
Thanks again for visiting.
