My preference is to establish mutually satisfying, long-term client relationships that lead to regular or periodic assignments. However, one-time projects and/or first-time clients will always receive the same focused attention on high-quality outcomes. Feel free to add me to your stable of freelance talent, or nudge me now if your need is immediate.

Just a glimpse of my online digital portfolio at www.maggymichaels.com and you can see that my freelance projects have been all over the map: Newsletters, articles, collateral material, direct mail pieces, public relations, Web writing, annual reports, advertising, ghost writing, scripts, and corporate communications. I can't imagine a better summation of my talent than the following testimonials. "Maggy, we need your magic" is the phrase used most often by my clients, whether they just landed an important project or need one hard-hitting line.
