Need a Creative Editor for all of your at-Home Writing? Statistically, I have a certain skill set.

Daniel Kleinman

As a graduate of Loyola Chicago with a Bachelor of Arts in English, focusing on cross-cultural syntax, benefiting from years of experience as a professional grant writer, furthering skills of legal writing by returning to Loyola for a Certificate in Paralegal Studies– it would be a privilege to work with you for your at-home writing needs.

English is not logical. When you use the right combination of words in the right context, as if a mathematical formula, you can create an interpellatory experience that expands beyond logic and into a shared understanding.

Some writers enjoy using their skills to assist others in making sure that their own message is as powerful as the messenger.

Have laptop. No need to travel.
