Writing Retreat in Sardinia
Joanna Young and Emma Bird are conducting a Writing Retreat in Sardinia, May 4 – 11. Can you imagine a more inspiring setting for a writing retreat? If you’re interested in attending this or future retreats, I’m sure the time would be well spent.

New Word Sell Theme
Big hat tip to Lara Kulpa for selecting and installing my new WordPress theme. Lara really knows her stuff – I don’t know where I’d be without her.

New Word Sell Pages
I’ve put together two new pages to more accurately reflect my service offering.

The Content Strategy page talks about my consulting service for helping firms work through those difficult, high level communication issues.

The Content Optimization page talks about my writing service for helping firms improve their search engine visibility. Search engine optimization is getting to be as indispensable as a phone number, which is why Stephen and I are so excited to have the topic for SOBCon.
