Alan brings to every project a key set of speech writing, ghost writing and manuscript proofreading skills:

• VERSATILITY: speeches, books, articles, position papers, testimony, scripts, annual reports, newsletters, essays, commentary, and virtually any other form of non-fiction.
• AUTHENTICITY: a ghost writer must create a text, written or spoken, that reflects the style of the speaker, and Alan’s linguistic training enables him to analyze and replicate the style of any individual or organization.
• CREATIVITY: collection and synthesis of information on any subject; Alan will generate ideas and suggest approaches that lead to a coherent, persuasive document.
• INTEGRATION OF CONTRIBUTIONS FROM MANY SOURCES:
  sources (reconciling conflicts where necessary), so that the final product is an integrated, seamless whole. • Intellectual rigor: Alan will check data and other information and evaluate logic and argumentation so that the final product is factually and rhetorically air-tight.
• LINGUISTIC AND SITUATIONAL SENSITIVITY: Again, Alan’s training in language helps him to stand apart from other ghostwriters: his understanding of the rhetorical nuances of each communicative situation enables him to make sound professional judgments about the appropriateness of specific words, phrases, and modes of expression and argumentation.
• ICONFIDENTIALITY AND TRUST: each client can count on complete discretion with respect to all information.
• • EDITORIAL PRECISION IN BOOK MANUSCRIPT EDITING AND MANUSCRIPT PROOFREADING: Alan applies his concept of the “optimal sentence”TM to ensure that the final product is grammatically and mechanically flawless, as well as completely unambiguous, maximally readable, and optimally positioned.
