Business Writing
Business-writing services are provided exclusively by Julie Rains, owner of Executive Correspondents. She has a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a master’s-level Certificate in Technology and Communication from the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, also from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
What makes Julie different from other writers? She
- has a broad base of knowledge on a wide range of topics, which she has acquired mostly by listening to her clients;
- is willing to ask obvious questions (a/k/a dumb questions) to get a general understanding of a topic prior to asking more questions;
- has a pretty good idea of what information is relevant to the finished commonly known by the typical person and what is relevant to the finished product; and
- uses language that is understandable by your target audience.
Web Content
Julie can develop, write, and edit content for your website. She will work with you to:
- establish your communication goals; and
- define your audiences (primary and secondary).
Then, she’ll
- review information you provide;
- gather additional information by speaking with you and conducting independent research;
- write and edit content with design features appropriate for web presentation;
- let you review content and make comments for further editing; and
- deliver the finished product: formatted content in a Microsoft Word file.
Julie can also advise you regarding architecture and navigational cues that will help your website visitors find your content easily.

Business-writing services may be provided for communications that include professional bios, company profiles and business letters for businesses, and grant proposals for not-for-profit organizations.
