Ms. Goldberg believes in writing well, no matter for what kind of writing. That passion is what led her to create WriteWellU, which offers programs at all different writing levels. Whether writing web copy, advertisements, fiction, or grant proposals, good, powerful writing gets the message across to the readers. In all manners of writing, Ms. Goldberg can answer questions on sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, writing content, vocabulary and spelling. She can also address questions which are more subjective, handling questions on developing a writing style, developing content, creating a writing life and adding more impact to writing. She can also offer guidance on how to move through the writing process effectively, addressing issues such as how to get past writer’s block and how to develop a writing idea into finished text. Ms. Goldberg cannot answer questions regarding copyrighted text and/or materials. She also cannot review full length essays or other works. Finally, she does not write cover letters or resumes.
