Dallas C.
Creative/Academic/Grant Writing
In one form or another, I’ve been writing for the past 15 years. Creatively, I’ve done everything from short stories to full-length video game scripts. I’ve drafted 36 grants for healthcare and community centers and secured over $4 million in grant funding. My educational background is in science, and I’ve authored academic papers, scientific grants, and public-at-large science and history articles. Whatever I’m writing, my only goal is to make sure it reaches the highest quality possible, and everything I do is 100% grammatically correct and error-free. I’ve worked in enough fields to appreciate that every client is different and every job is unique. I put a lot of emphasis on making sure I understand exactly what you are looking for before beginning work, and I am active in seeking feedback and maintaining contact throughout the entire lifespan of the project. If you’re looking for a writer, I can help you with: • Creative writing (fiction, scriptwriting, non-linear dialogue, story planning) • Grant writing • Academic journal publications • Technical writing • News articles • Blog posts • Copywriting • Game design documents • Editing (creative and technical) For editing work in particular, as a writer, I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to submit your work for review. I also understand how frustrating it can be to have an editor push for changes that are way beyond the practical scope of a late-stage project. I always communicate with clients beforehand to get an honest idea of the scope of changes that are feasible, and I work hard to deliver all revisions sensitively and with clear reasoning attached. Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile. If you’d be interested in working together, don’t hesitate to reach out!
