Maria Shine Stewart - Make Your Writing Shine
 Make your writing shine?
 
Would you like to feel more at home with words--to become a more effective writer?
 
Do you have an important writing project you want to complete (an article, speech, manual, book, or even a letter) but are uncertain if you can complete it to your satisfaction in the time you have?
 
Are you in charge of training for your organization? If so, has the quality of employee writing been a concern?
 
If you have any of these questions, rest assured that help is right here at your fingertips.
 
A writer, teacher, editor, and writing coach, I can help.
 
I am a versatile communicator who has achieved superior results working with hundreds of individuals--and dozens of organizations and publications--both around the corner from my South Euclid, Ohio, office and around the world.
 
What sets me apart from others in my field is my combination of experience, sensitivity, and creativity. Regardless of the type of project you are working on -- or the type of writing training you need -- I have the flexibility and track record to do it, and do it well.
 
Are you looking for a Renaissance woman?
 
I can craft projects ranging from the fine arts to engineering, business to education, health care to humor. If you don't feel it's possible for someone to have this range, ask to see samples of my work and then decide for yourself.  Speeches, brochures, press releases, ads, articles, scholarly manuscripts: These are just a few of the many projects I have completed.
 
And I will help you polish your own skills.
 
"Same old, same old" does not describe my teaching and training, either. With several hundred writing students and clients a year in multiple locations and settings, I adapt well to people, organizational cultures, and deadlines. I use original instructional materials and proven techniques to boost audience retention, inspiration, and motivation. I am sensitive to varied ways of learning and people of all walks of life.
 
Get inspired!
 
I learned early in my life the power of words, and I rediscover it every day. As your  "professional muse," I can inspire you to write and edit more effectively--or I can collaborate with you on almost any project. Read on to learn more about some of my accomplishments and -- above all -- how I might work with you to make your writing shine!
