Would you like to create a custom made story for a loved one? I can turn your memories, thoughts and feelings about a special person or people into a book just for them. A perfect present for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations or any other occasions limited only by your imagination.

If you are interested please read the first couple of chapters of the book I wrote for my son Shannon for his birthday. He loves it and is very proud to be the only person he knows with a book written about him. You are welcome to read the first couple of chapters of Something to Keep for an idea of how a book for a special person might read.

Do you need to write a letter of complaint to a business, a neighbour or a community group? It can be so difficult to write these letters when you are personally involved. Letters that are factual, accurate and without obvious emotion are more likely to have the desired effect. I can work with you to write letters and other documents that have impact without the emotion.

I can also assist you to write the following:

• Resumes
• Cover letters for job applications

Do you have a journal article, report or other text you just can’t quite seem to finish? Do you have a draft document that needs work to be of publishable standard? Are you concerned your Masters or PhD thesis isn’t as polished as it could be? Help is available. Happell consulting has years of experience in writing, editing, and mentoring. No editing job is too big or too small.
