  (Patrick Parker, CEO, EmpowerID)
  "As always :) Very professional, he can find a way to make any story sounds fascinating. Definitely will work with him again in the future."

  A professional writer since 1997, I've been fortunate to have helped hundreds of clients.
  (I have almost 11-years of client reviews and testimonials in my Book of Proof, below).
  First, to both orientate you that you're in the right place, and to alleviate any concerns you may have, here's a small taster of what some of my clients have said:
  (Hannah Morris, Head of Design and Development, Impact International)
  "Russ has been a pleasure to work with, he is extremely knowledgeable and has taught me a lot during our time working together. His communication is excellent, I really appreciated the walk though videos - it made a complex job very easy to understand and digest at my own pace. Thank you so much for all your amazing work, you have made a lot people's lives a lot easier! hope to work with you again soon."
  "Russ is incredible!!!!!! A true professional & expert who went above and beyond for us. Thank you, Russ!!"
  (Microsoft, White paper)
  (Dan Opyd, Partner, Datanet)
  His experience and expertise improved not only the documents but also our team's skills and capabilities by showing us new and improved ways of crafting and Editing documents. As an added benefit, Russ works/lives in a different time zone which allowed our team to provide him documents at the end of a day and receive them back from Russ when we arrived to the office in the morning.
  (Steve Goldsby, President, ICS)
  You've seen some of my testimonials and reviews, above. Below is my Book of Proof containing client reviews and testimonials from 2011:

  A professional writer since 1997, I've helped clients in in many industries, including manufacturing, live events, maritime (commercial and defense).
  However, my journey with software began in 1999 and, 20+ years on, SaaS is where my heart is.
  SaaS clients I've helped are in:
  Maritime (commercial and defense)
  All types of copywriting, including White papers, Case studies, reports, etc.
  From specifications, user and admin guides, to all areas of producing video training,
  Landing pages, email sequences (sales and nurturing), brochures, etc.
  A Background in Tech, a Wizard With Microsoft Word, and an English Language Degree...
  The MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) was my starting point. That was in 1999 and I've never looked back.
  From working onsite in London, Peterborough, Norwich, I've helped many organizations clarify and improve all areas of their business. From honing processes and procedures, through to QA/QC roles in a major programme at Aviva, and even document management systems.
  More recently, I've worked on various projects, including consulting on UI/UX for a boat marketplace; user guides, sales pages, email lists, VSLs, and even video training for construction; and, along the way created my own book-publishing software using Microsoft Word and have self-published over 800-books on Amazon for myself and others.
  Dr. Mark Clayson wrote:
  You'd be surprised but, hopefully, not much.
  It's impossible to have all the answers, but what I find is you actually earn your money when the chips are down.
  When the plan goes wrong, the lateral thinking needs to kick in, and you need to draw hard on those expensive qualifications and certs to earn your keep.
  And that's what I excel at.
  As Jamie Kelly, president of Brainy Marketing said:
  A developer at heart, since then I've also upped my own game.
  In one recent conversation, the client pointed out how I'd, quite literally, "written the book on formatting." Again, having published over 800 books for myself and clients, it would be rude to disagree.
  (This also makes it perfect for clients who need reports, white papers, or other lead magnets.)
  Note: I do have client reviews and testimonials dating back to 2011 in my Book of Proof, below. That way you can see exactly what everyone's said and use this to make your mind up about what it's like to work with me.
  MCSE and Humble Beginnings
  Note: the above items are not exclusive. With over 2 decades as a professional writer, at one time or another, I have written most types of documentation and am sure to be able to help. If you're unsure, get in touch - "It's just a conversation."
  A veteran technical copywriter, here's where my expertise lies:
  To serve my clients better:
  B2B Technical Copywriter | MOS Word Expert White Paper, Case Study, & Email Specialist
  That was just one of several writing projects I've helped Microsoft with.
  Online help to video training:
  From articles to webpage wireframing:
  Multi-page user guides to single-page on-boarding:
  And landing pages to email sequences:
  To anyone who uses Word.
  "Russ was extremely proactive. His attention to detail was stellar. His communication was immediate and clear. Would highly recommend!"
  ('The Freelance Toolkit' white paper, Microsoft)
  "Russ is a writer who has a broad worldview and an understanding of a lot of areas, which aided us in getting a new product line out the door quickly. He knows the right questions to ask and was able to handle the psychology of writing to multiple audiences at the same time. I will use him in future projects."
  (Jonty Yamisha, CEO, OptiLingo)
  "Russ, you are a joy to work with."
  (Jan Kampman, Mulder-Kampman)
  "Very easy to work with, super professional."

  Lead-gen is the life-blood of any organization. eBooks and lead magnets help keep the blood pumping.
  UX/UI (& Processes)
  With a background in software/SaaS and process improvement, I like it when things are easy and logical.
  Not only to be easy (and a joy) to work with, but to understand your business, your needs, and to work together to achieve them in the best and most efficient manner possible.

  Delving deeper into the intricacies of Microsoft Word helps me serve my clients better. (I also use Word for 95% of my writing, so it's win-win all the way.)
  (Jamison Kelly, President, Brainy Marketing)
  "Fantastic experience. I think that says everything. Looking forward to the next time. Thanks Russ."
  (Jan Kampman, Partner, Mulder-Kampman)
  "Makes me reconsider what 5 stars means for everyone else I've worked with. Russ recorded videos explaining everything he was doing to help our document and how we could do it ourselves going forward. Teach a man to fish... Couldn't recommend Russ more highly."
