Lauren Edwards: Content Strategist

Lauren Edwards is an experienced writing coach with 10 years of public relations expertise – first with A&R Partners, and then with Edelman.   Lauren gives some of the best writing advice I have ever read.   I’ve trained people how to write for specific audiences – primarily the lending, investing, and venture capital community.  This ain’t easy.  I write intuitively and a large part of teaching is analytical.

Lauren Edwards takes the intuitive and makes it teachable.  I learn more from her blog posts than entire books on writing.

She is an Eagle Eye – a specially trained copyeditor who finds grammar, punctuation, and style mistakes that otherwise well-trained and college-educated professionals didn’t know were there.  Great advice here.

Lauren Edwards knows her audience.
