Chrissy Scivicque, Freelance Writer and Editor

Professional Writer

These days, anyone can call themselves a writer. A laptop and a basic grasp of the English language is all you need to freelance. Sadly, some writers don’t even have that much to offer! Let’s be honest: You don’t want just ANY writer. You want a professional, a creative partner, and an intelligent business strategist. You’re in the right place.
Certified Copyeditor

Editing is a nuanced art and a precise science. Sounds like a contradiction in terms, doesn’t it? That’s exactly what makes editing so difficult. And it’s exactly why good editing has the power to transform the written word. Whether you’re looking for a dramatic overhaul or a subtle alteration, I can help make your written work even BETTER.
Experienced Speaker

Dynamic presentation and substantive content: That’s what you’ll get when you hire me to speak at your event. I’ve been providing powerful speeches, interactive workshops and engaging training sessions for audiences of all sizes for over five years. I would love to find an opportunity to put my skills to work for you and your company.
