Writing coach, freelance ghostwriter, editor, author and editorial manager Lee Reeder is an experienced freelance writer, ghostwriter, writing coach, editor and editorial manager with 30 years of experience in journalism, book writing, public relations, information services and education. I hold a bachelor of arts degree in management and a professional certificate in total quality management for service. I specialize in nothing. However, travel, health care, management, medical services, research and publishing are great strengths. Now, let me say, if this all sounds a little redundant to you, don't despair—this is not the way I usually write. However, this redundancy is likely what got you here, because it is one method I have used to attract the search engines to this page. Chances are you found me on a search engine, so please excuse the redundancy. By the way, I also provide search engine optimization services. But now that I have you here, let me tell you who I am. I have been a military public information officer, an advertising agency marketing director, editorial director for a multititle trade publisher and lead editor for several national publications. My ghostwriting credits include books, book chapters, scientific articles, clinical journal articles, management magazine editorials and even in-house executive memos. I am the author of thousands of feature and news articles that have been published locally, nationally and around the world. I also serve as a mentor and writing coach, guiding key people in organizations to improve their written communications and their overall effectiveness. I have been a featured speaker at many national and regional conferences on the subjects of effective writing, building profitable Web sites, getting to the top of search engines, publishing and total quality management. My experience includes developing long-term marketing plans and short-term public relations campaigns for organizations, conferences, publications, advertising agencies and consumer products. My clients include university professors, the U.S. government, executive coaches, artists, publishers, conference organizers, membership associations, architects, hospitals, health systems, medical device manufacturers, venture capital firms, and research institutions. I have been one of the most sought-after writers and ghostwriters in health care, especially in the subject areas of patient safety, clinical quality improvement, disease management and patient-centric healthcare information technology. My editorial management skills are also highly valued. Editorial management services have included freelance positions as editor in chief of two former American Hospital Association publications: Quality Improvement and Patient Safety, and Healthcare Leadership & Management Report. I also manage peer-review programs for scientific publications. I am an experienced writer who has published hundreds of feature articles on clinical, technical, leadership and quality improvement topics. This writing, editing and ghostwriting has helped many businesses, including major patient safety software and hardware manufacturers, in promoting their products. It has also has helped businesses pave the way through the editorial processes of national magazines and journals to get their stories published. I am one of the founding board members of the Emergency Medical Services Branch of the National Rural Health Association, helped develop the National Institute for Urban Search and Rescue and have served on the board of the Western Publications Association--the second largest magazine publishing association in the nation.
