About Amy French

I find stories worth telling, tell them well, and help others to do the same. Short, long, visual, verbal - isn\'t it amazing all of the forms a story can take these days?I have a deep background in journalism and a deep understanding of language and story mechanics. I love finding the right rhythm and voice for a piece, enticing an audience with a great headline, and making sure the content delivers. I have a knack for making simple sense out of complex topics and drawing out the elements of a message that need to be digested quickly. I know the rules of grammar and style forward and backward - well enough to know when it serves the reader to break them. I research obsessively, I\'m meticulous with details, and I\'m a stickler for accuracy and clarity. My standards are high, and it excites me to work with clients and collaborators who aim to create something wonderful. Also, I like to laugh. Every chance I get.
