Making Words Work As Hard As You Do

We make words work as hard as you do

Business-to-business books and written communications are a specialty.
BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS BOOKS
  • Have you written a book on the subject of your business expertise?
  • Do you need it edited prior to publication?
  • Are you ready to get your book into print?
  • Do you need to ask someone the questions about publishing, printing, ISBN numbers, barcode, editing, and book design?
Whether your topic is sales, negotiation, human resources, or any other of a vast number of topics, I can help you get your book ship-shape for the presses.

You've come to the right place: Not only will I guide you through what can seem like a complex and challenging process from start to finish, but because I have many years of corporate experience I bring to the table, I understand the context of your work.

Harvard Girl gives you the best value for the best price--and you'll get it all done in one place.

BUSINESS COMMUNICATIONS

What falls under the heading of "business communications"? Just about anything you do to communicate in your business--from letters to induce sales to reports for your boss. From brochures to newsletters to proposals, you need your words to reflect the exact message you need to get across.

Words can help or hurt your business, depending on their ability to get your point across, when:
  • You want your readers to TAKE ACTION!
  • You want your readers to BUY YOUR PRODUCT!
  • You want your readers to PICK UP THE PHONE!
  • You want your readers to UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAY!
In all your
  • Reports
  • Proposals
  • Emails
  • Letters
  • Web site content
  • Blog content
  • Marketing materials
  • Logos
  • Newsletters
  • Brochures
  • PowerPoint presentations
My clients include financial advisors, bankers, doctors, accountants, and artists, just to name a few.

Here are some of their testimonials.
"I love what you've done to my Web site. It's exactly what I was hoping for; you've made it so much more appealing. I'm really excited!"
(Alex Chavez, Taos, NM, 2007, DIYARTSITE.COM)

"I would highly recommend you to anyone who wants to look like an expert at PowerPoint; you were very helpful and professional and went above and beyond to make me look extremely knowledgeable and prepared in my presentation which was a big success!"
(Jeff Livingstone, WRGrant, Inc., Boston, MA 2003)

“I have given Heidi many tasks: writing from scratch, editing and formatting—sometimes all three. Every job she has done has been professional and portrayed exactly the image I want for my business. I do not have the tools necessary to produce what I needed and I love the fact that Heidi simply took the information and created documents which actually enhanced the quality of my business."
(Ray Flores, PRIDE Electrical Contracting, Inc., Morehead City, NC, 2005)

"I first met Heidi Connolly in 2003 when I got a letter in the mail introducing her services and my first thought was, "I've been looking for someone like her for years! Since that time, Heidi has performed all types of work for me, and has been a great asset to my financial advisory business. I recommend her highly and without reservation for her integrity, reliability and quality to anyone who wants professional results by a seasoned professional."
(Jack Bradley, President, Bradley Financial Group, Quincy, MA, 2006)


MORE TESTIMONIALS FROM SATISFIED CLIENTS

"Heidi opened the door to book publishing for me. My book of poems is a testament to her diligence, her wisdom, and her sensitivity. Specifically, her knowledge of how to craft and complete a book project is unparalleled. Heidi is thorough, fun and reasonable, and I highly recommend her for any project that requires a high degree of professionalism involving editing, proofreading, or any aspect of book publication."

(Bruce Grossman, psychologist and author of We Go On Living, Taos, NM, 2007)

"I never really thought I needed a professional editor until I heard Heidi at a writers' conference. When she said, “You cannot be your own editor because you're too close to the story,” I realized how true that was. It made sense. Then, at our initial consultation, she pointed out a descriptive phrase I'd used twice within the first few pages of the work. Through numerous re-writes, I had not noticed those repetitions—nor had the half dozen others who had read the work. I am impressed by both her skill and her integrity."

(Jim Boyle, author of Ni'il: The Awakening, Gold Beach, OR, 2006)
