Meet Anne Biggs: an independent professional writer and consultant with more than 30 years’ experience in journalism, public relations, business writing and training.

My editing talents: I have an eye (and ear) for editing. I do it in my sleep, when reading the newspaper or a menu, as I open my mail, while listening to the radio. Running writing workshops taught me to evaluate quickly and instinctively, often from sentences read aloud, so that I am able to edit effectively and efficiently—even over the telephone.

My interviewing skills: I like to establish relaxed, friendly relationships with my interview subjects. That way, they feel comfortable enough to respond candidly
to the questions I ask. An interview should be an opportunity to share knowledge, not an intrusion. I enjoy people’s stories and honestly want to hear what you
have to say.

My writing skills: I write, therefore I am. I know how to craft ideas into a form that can be readily understood and applied most effectively to your purpose. I’ve honed these skills through 30 years in newspaper work, more than 20 years in public relations, 4 years teaching business writing seminars to executives around the country and 15 years as a communications consultant with my own company.

My experience: I’ve written and consulted for a range of clients in

One of my most extensive (and pleasurable) projects was researching, writing and editing Through Their Eyes: A Story of Doylestown Hospital (Doylestown, Pa.: Tower Hill Press, 1998). This 224-page, 47,000-word hardcover book chronicled this unique central Bucks County hospital’s first 75 years.

In early 2007 I wrote Responding with Hope, a 44-page resource document that presents the national model for community-to-community disaster relief developed by the Bucks Mont Katrina Relief Project. This group’s ground-breaking efforts on behalf of its adopted communities in Mississippi have captured the attention of relief agencies nationwide; Responding with Hope is currently in the hands of lawmakers in Washington, D.C.
