• Identify your audience.
• Explain what’s compelling about your story or product to that audience and how it's distinguished from – and more effective! – than that of your competitors.

If you can explain that in digestible, meaningful points that register with them, you are more likely to produce the response you want. That's the goal of communication – message and response.

In short, you need to tell a story that your audience is going to respond to.

This is where I, Stephanie Sides, with 25 years of writing experience, can help you: Crystalize your message: This will help you get the results you want – a grant award, increased sales, an unexpected partnership, or greater community awareness. Analyze your information: I can synthesize a comprehensive, compelling story from the chaos that can result from information or documents written by many different authors with many different areas of expertise and points of view. If you're at your wit's end, I bet I can help. Provide comprehensive communication services: Such services are most likely to be needed by smaller organizations lacking in-house publication or design departments. I work with the area's most respected companies in website design and development, photography, printing, and event planning.

• computing and computational science
• climate change, renewable energy, and sustainability

As a long-time horsewoman, I also write about English horse sports for hardcopy magazines, websites, and horse-related professional associations.
