Mark Horne’s Summary

While some claim that other forms of communication have surpassed the importance of basic writing, the truth is that carefully-aimed writing remains an essential tool for spreading your message. If you are a leader or aspire to be one in any field or endeavor, you need to use the power of words effectively.

Effective words are my business.

I am an experienced freelance writer who has ghostwritten books, written my own, and produced many other kinds of writing both in traditional and new media.

While almost everyone knows how to write to some degree or other, not everyone has made writing his life's work or hung her livelihood on it. When you contact me with your project you can know that I am driven to provide you with professional and timely service that you would want to recommend to other business or non-profit leaders.
