Code Crunchers, Entrepreneurial Engineers, Business Brains, Technopreneurs:

Occasionally, you need the help of a liberal arts guy, a word geek. No, not just to play right field. You need someone that can read and write, someone trained to the celestially sweet art of grammar. Okay, and play right field. But the point is this: You’ve got major idea currency, you’re getting all kinds of advice, networking like crazy -- but something is missing. Me.

When you write anything -- web pages, business plans, marketing copy -- your image is on the line. Angels, VCs, shareholders, media, customers and collaborators need to believe in your image. In the office, on the phone, at a meeting, or having lunch -- you and your idea is impressive. Than ya rite: Ya wanna tlk 2 MK on Tus? I dunno no. Even from right field, I’m not impressed. Informal expression is fine, it serves a purpose: getting the job done quickly with only occasional misunderstandings. But a bad web site is out there like the naked King’s new robes.

My Creds: I'm a licensed attorney in New York, Massachusetts, and the Western district of New York, Federal. I had 20 years editing experience for a legal publishing house. I taught English, Law, Philosophy and a dozen other courses at the college level. I write on the side, and "Proofreading 'R' Me": I’ve proofread many science papers, law books, suggestions to CH, and -- believe it or not -- the internet newspaper for Kazakhstan. I am a partner in “Total Language Service”, a translation and proofreading service in the Czech Republic with my son, a translator. I'm semi-retired so I spend as much time as required, 24/7 for whiplash-quick turn around. No, there is no social life in right field. I work exclusively on the internet interface. Turn-around time will give you whip lash. I travel between Philadelphia where my daughter lives, and the Czech Republic.

I do not like long walks, dining out, cuddling, or watching romantic comedies. I do know the difference between an n-dash and an m-dash; and I’m enthralled with the proper use of the semi-colon. By the way, my on-base average was .739. I played left and catcher. Also shotput and center.

Present your image with impeccable prose matching your graphics; make your message sing.

In lieu of Cambros or or Everlasting Love, I may accept a new web site. Payment may be eventual,not immediate.

Thanks for considering me. Wes
