Nancy Smay, Freelance Writer

Responsive, Smart and Deadline-Driven.
When you're pulling together a publication, whether its a trade journal, corporate in-house
newsletter or national consumer magazine, the last thing you need to worry about is whether
your freelancers are going to get their work in on time. Too many writers fail to realize that
half of their job is making their editor's job easier.
If you're looking for a focused and professional writer with excellent interview and research
skills, please contact me to discuss your needs. I've written short pieces and features across a
wide range of topics, and I'll be happy to supply clips for your consideration. My work has
been published in national consumer and trade magazines, in newspapers and on the web.
Don't gamble important assignments. Hire a writer who realizes that turning in smart copy
means nothing if it isn't turned in on time.
