Professional Overview
I've been an artist, a color consultant, an idea-spinner, a photo composer and a word weaver for more than 17 years. My creativity knows no bounds. 

 

My clients tell me that I have a knack for turning staid information into snappy, must-read copy. I can also tailor the tone and approach of my copy to suit your readers. As a reliable, highly organized self-starter with a strong work ethic and high standards, I can be counted on to meet your deadlines and to deliver superior work. Clients appreciate my ability to work efficiently from my home office, as well as in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment. I'm always willing to learn and use new tools to create the work you need and want.

Location
My home office is based in Delaware and I accept work-at-home assignments from companies in any state. I currently accept on-site assignments in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Testimonials
I have known Shari Kantor for 20 years in the capacity of editor and freelance writer. I have made use of Shari’s talents as an editor. She is thorough, consistent with her edits, puts value in researching topics and prompt in completing assignments; many times providing finished work before it is expected. Shari’s writing is creative yet focused and clear. I find Shari knowledgeable in a variety of topics from health and medical issues to politics and have been impressed with how quickly she picks up on subjects, no matter the topic. Shari is skilled as a writer and editor and would recommend her ability in both areas.
Angela Kramer, Scientist 

 

Shari is very strong and confident with developing business relationships in the travel industry. She is very cooperative and willing to help others-it is recognized and appreciated. I believe her enthusiasm for the job always makes her receptive to new ideas and tasks. I couldn't ask to work with anyone with a better attitude and dedication. 

David Filipiak, Tourism Marketing Manager

 

I found Shari to be a can-do, positive person who took pride in doing things the right way. She volunteered for extra assignments and always offered to help out other staff members. She takes her responsibilities seriously while maintaining her sense of humor-not an easy balance.  
Michael Ardizzone, Publishing Executive

I had an opportunity to work with Shari and she is absolutely a great asset to an organization that thrives on commitment, excellence and innovation. Shari 's diligence and work ethics are commendable. She is personable and one of the most influential individuals I have ever met who is always willing to give her work 150 percent.  
Lea Martinez, Project Manager

Shari is extremely bright and capable, and has a depth of understanding and breadth of information that is positively astounding.
