Let me tell you a little about myself.  First of all, I haven’t always loved English as a subject, and reading was, at times, akin to having splinters placed under my fingernails.  Can you relate?  
 
 
Believe me, I thoroughly understand when people feel their
writing abilities are not up to par. It can be both crippling and undermining. And, spell check is not always a friend.  In addition, it is extremely embarrassing when we are unable to express ourselves properly.  How do I know these things?  I’ve been where many of you are now. At that time, I just kept hoping  that no one would discover just how little I knew about proper grammar usage and my lack of confidence in my own writing abilities.
 
Now, you may be wondering how I not only became an exceptional writer and voracious reader but also received my M.A. in English.  Those are questions I will be happy to answer once we begin working together.  I can tell you this, however, reading makes one a better writer. It’s true. So, as I read more, I became better able to express myself through my college writing, corporate correspondence, and as an English instructor.  Along the way, I turned what I learned into practical applications, which people -- from all walks of life -- have found invaluable.   As a result, my clients, many who once saw writing as an onerous task, have gained new found confidence in themselves through their writing.
 
If what you’ve just read reflects your current writing situation and you’d like more information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I want to hear from you. Let’s face it, with so many folks starting or restarting careers, in different areas, and discrimenating employers being able to pick and choose whom to hire, exceptional  writing skills are now more important than ever. 
 
I also want you to know that confidentiality, at CCI, is a priority.
 
In closing, I admire you for taking this first step in contacting me and learning to Write it Right the First Time!
 
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Carlene Coury, M.A.
