So You Can Focus On The Other Important Aspects Of Your Work
Life takes a lot of twists and turns. But I probably don’t have to tell you that.
When I graduated from law school and accepted my first job with an insurance company, I thought I had my career for the rest of my working life.
But then we moved out of the city into a rural area, where the livestock outnumber the people. I got lucky and found a job with a semiconductor company 50 miles away … with a substantial cut in pay.
I loved my new job, my new friends, and my new practice area. Once again, I thought I had my career for the rest of my working life.
Then the company merged with a larger semiconductor company, and 8 months later, I was laid off … for the first time in my life.
I Didn’t Know What To Do With My Newfound Freedom … Until I Got A Little Help From A Great Movie
I helped my husband, who was building a new house for my parents on our acreage so we could care for them. I played with our rescued dogs — Maggie, our Belgian shepherd, Isamu, our rottweiler, and Zebekiah, our pit bull. I ran a lot.
The weekly unemployment check was woefully small, and with the economy in the tank, work as a lawyer in southeastern Idaho wasn’t plentiful.
One day after watching the movie The Bucket List, I decided to write my own “bucket list”— all the things I want to do before I die. So far, this is what my list looks like:
1. Write.
Just so you know, my list hasn’t changed — this is still the only thing I’ve got written down!
I had some publication credits before my life went topsy-turvy; I even wrote two novels that needed editing and polishing. Over the years, I also completed several courses in fiction writing and copywriting, with great success.
But writing was just a hobby …
Every Life Has A Purpose And I Finally Found Mine. Guess What?
It Includes YOU!
Then it finally dawned on me — I strive to live my life in service to others, and while writing for my own satisfaction was fine, it wasn’t completely fulfilling.
Thus Readable Writer was born.
I love helping other people achieve their goals and rejoice with them over each success … I enjoy brainstorming to find the best solutions for my clients and figuring out how to attain them … I thrive on thorough research, in-depth interviews, and reducing everything to writing so it is readable and understandable.
In sum — writing for my clients’ varied needs is my thing!
As you know:
-- Writing takes precious time
-- It takes incredible effort
-- It exercises those mental muscles
… All while you are busy trying to whittle down your own lengthy to-do list.

Look At What Some Of My Clients Are Saying About Me …
Joanne is a jewel. She has a talent for spotting even the tiniest things that a writer can’t see for herself. She is especially great at catching passive phrases and redundancies. Her editing and suggestions have done wonders to improve my book.
Hays Williams, Author, The Mystery of the Dogman
It's a pleasure to have Joanne on our "team". Her work is meticulous and organized. She meets deadlines and often delivers early. Frequent updates and easy communication make the work flow easily.
