Overview
My signature is great writing, whether I’ve written it, edited it, curated it, designed what it looks like on a screen or page, or taught someone how to create it. Drawing on my background as a professor, an expat, an advisor, and a full-time and freelance writer and editor, I specialize in crafting fluid prose from a storytelling perspective to draw readers in and deliver the message for projects that are as diverse as educational products, travel articles, business proposals, marketing newsletters, company websites, and my own digital creation, Odyssa Magazine.Testimonials:"Adria was wonderful to work with and could not have done a better job...My book, "Fifty Flying Stories," required expertise in aviation language and a whole gamut of other needs...It is my privilege to highly recommend her services to both first-time and experienced authors."--Randal Roth"It was lovely working with Adria. She was professional, honest and stuck to the deadline. Her feedback was always clear and the attention to detail was second to none. I have already started working with her on another project! Highly recommended!"--Saira Goheer
