About the author

Cindy3I’m a freelance writer near Indianapolis who likes to write compelling copy for clients. I held full-time positions in communications and public relations for more than 20 years. In August 2007, I launched Cindy Dashnaw Freelance Writing Inc. so that I could spend more time doing what I love: writing. The experience has been more rewarding than I ever dreamed.

My clients are museums, hospitals, community foundations, for-profit companies, international organizations and more. I also have been published in local and national media.

I firmly believe no reader ever reads to be bored, and every organization’s communication pieces should support their goals. If you’re interested in my writing samples or talking about your project, please contact me at cindy.dashnaw@gmail.com.

    Hi Cindy – I’ve just stumbled across your website (via BadLanguage) and wanted to say how much I enjoyed reading it and absorbing your nuggets of wisdom.

    I’ve done some writing myself, but nothing much of late – seem to think about it more than getting it onto the page.

    Thanks for the inspiring thoughts.
    Best wishes
    Amanda

      Thanks, Amanda! BadLanguage is a great blog. I do a lot of thinking about writing, too, rather than writing, sad to say. One of my favorite stories involves an author who was asked to speak to a college graduation class on his advice to writers. He said one word: “Write.”

      Best of luck to you!
