Sinking Your Teeth into Proper Dental Care, Second Edition

Written by Miriam Ruff

 

Home Soil

The story grew from a writer’s prompt: A rebellion against Earth – up to 2,000 words

It’s the original story from the MarsLives! universe novels I’m working on, and it won the Otherworlds Revolution challenge on the Prose.

 

The People of the Frozen Earth: The New Day Dawns by Grace Anne Schafer

I line and copy edited the manuscript from draft into publishable form.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Our company has often hired Bumbershoot to write content that needs to follow strict guidelines and criteria. Bumbershoot’s staff has developed content from scratch and has been used to fine tune and correct existing content. The work has included the development of support documents, Web site content, as well as the writing and editing of reading material and reading comprehension tests used in our commercial products. Bumbershoot has consistently provided a great quality service and at an affordable price. The staff makes it a point to be thorough and conscientious in all their efforts. We highly recommend their services.”

– Bernie Marasco, CEO and Founder of StepWare, Inc.

 

“Bumbershoot, Inc. has been a contractor to Certified Learning Centers for almost ten years. In that time, the company has provided a wide array of services, including curriculum development, instruction at all levels from grade school to adult, writing/editing letters, memos, creating forms, composing grant proposals, and helping integrate current technology into CLC’s programs. Bumbershoot’s owner, Miriam Ruff, has never hesitated about making suggestions she believes will improve our current programs, and she has collaborated well with a number of other qualified people on our staff. It’s nice to know someone’s looking out for our interests; it’s one less thing we need to worry about.”

– Robert E. Felton, V.P. , Certified Learning Centers

 

“I met Miriam Ruff, founder of Bumbershoot, Inc., while serving as Editor-in-Chief for Your Information Center (YIC). Ms. Ruff wrote over a dozen e-booklets on topics ranging from buying a pet parrot to dealing with arthritis. As a member of the YIC Editorial Board, she edited the work of many other writers, helped develop the company style guide, and contributed to the organization by expressing her opinions and sharing her ideas. Throughout, she remained professional and capable. I look forward to working with her and with Bumbershoot again.”

– Lillie Ammanm, Writer and Editor

 

“Bumbershoot, Inc. founder, Miriam Ruff is a person for whom the word “meticulous” may well have been coined. To say that she prides herself on her attention to detail and thorough research would be an understatement. As someone who has worked closely with Miriam over the past six years writing and editing a wide variety of documents and texts, I can attest to the high level of professionalism she brings to every task.

With more than twenty years’ experience in the industry, Miriam knows exactly what is required to ensure that her clients get the results they want and need from their written materials. But it’s her approachability that makes Miriam such a pleasant person to work with; whether she’s dealing with clients who have complex writing tasks to be completed, fellow writers who need guidance, or students preparing for the SAT test, Miriam brings a calmness and gentle sense of humor to the table that makes every job that much easier.”
