editing

Accessibility-first editing means prioritizing clarity and conciseness. This benefits people with certain learning disabilities and neurological differences as well as 21st century readers.

ebook creation

After editing a book, I write each part of the book as an HTML file, import them and style them in CSS in Calibre eBook Editor. I can make epubs and books for Kindle.

wordpress

I love building WordPress sites. (I built this one!) Even the frustrating parts are fun. There are so many incredible plugins, it’s hard to keep it simple. But I manage with the help of Sir William of Ockham.

SEO

This is how you improve your site’s search engine ranking, folks. You must optimize your pages and content to appease the algorithms. It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there.

content management

It’s essential to consistently use a calendar to plan and schedule content in all your platforms. I’m a GenX-er, so I use a paper one. With highlighters.

digital marketing strategy

This is when I get to be a detective, a researcher, an analyst, a mad scientist, and a war general all at the same time. Yeah. That’s really what it’s like.
