The development of grants
from concept to proposal is one of my favorite
activities. It let's me get to know an organization
and its context and help to solve a problem in the
community within which the organization interacts.
As a side benefit both the organization and the community
see an immediate increase, after the funding notification
is received, in resources to deal with the problem.
It is my hope that The Writing Page will allow me to expand my activities beyond my current position and locale. I believe that on-line project development and editing are more than feasible, as I have worked in this mode for institutions for several years. this expansion simply allows me to branch out to other organizations, regardless of their proximity to me.

Writing papers and
editing for clients allows me to creatively approach
communication problems which challenge the writer, and
ultimately, the reader. The goal of all writing is
to communicate a message clearly from the writer to an
audience. It is my responsiblity to insure that the
communication occurs. The
Writing Page is an extension of the composition
instruction which I provide my students in the university
classroom. One of my favorite Please view my resume at your convenience. Barbara Ragan |

The Internet is a
fascinating medium and technology. It has changed
and will continue to change human interaction and
communication. My goal is to facilitate the communication that takes place over the Internet through quality web site design and content editing. So much of the content on the Internet is needed at one level or another. Two questions come to my mind. Does the web site convey accurately the writer's intent and meaning? And will the reader understand and respond appropriately? These two questions are what I am all about. Please view my resume at your convenience. Stephen W. Ragan, II |

I graduated from Minot
State University with a B.A. in Art and an emphasis in
graphic design. I have been employed as a graphic
design artist at three different corporations since
graduation. I am particularly interested in The Writing Page because it will allow me to extend my graphic arts skills into areas other than photography, computer design, and page layout. At the same time I will be able to use those skills to assist individuals, companies and organizations to prepare better reports, proposals, advertising and other dcouments critical to their growth. It has been my experience that the design of a
document that is appealing introduces the reader to the
content and provides a positive mindset as s/he
approaches that content. While the content is the
key to a winning report or proposal, the design can
assist greatly in focusing the reader on the critical
aspects of the document. It is my job to provide
consultation to that end. |
