What do I know about crises? Chances are I've been in your shoes and survived what you're going through. In the past 12 years I've experienced a home invasion while I was home, a dangerous stalker, two hate campaigns for helping police solve a crime, business losses, enormous debt, and homelessness.

When facing a crisis in which we feel anxious, angry, or powerless, many otherwise-brilliant people can see only two options: go or stay. But when we see we have a wide array of do-able options to choose from, we feel more confident, powerful and optimistic.

I am your crisis investigator, your personal advisor, or your advocate when you've been bullied, mistreated or exploited. I act in your best interests when you're feeling mind-numbing stress, anger and anxiety. You'll receive an arsenal of specific steps and solutions. You'll come away feeling supported, powerful, energized.

"Andrea Reynolds has not only developed her left brain and her right brain equally well, but trained them to talk to each other." Vinod Busjeet, Ph.D., The World Bank, Washington DC

"Where others see the world in black and white, Andrea Reynolds sees the world in blazing technicolour." Robert J. Brown, London Polytechnic Institute, London England

Complaint or protest letter writing service
Use the power of the pen. 

"Evil thrives when good people do nothing."


When you're too angry or intimidated to write a letter that is strong and compelling, but tempered, to get results, give it to Andrea. Let Andrea help you get the satisfaction and results you want from the person or company who treated you with disrespect or discourtesy. Some examples are listed below. 



You may prefer to organize a crisis clinic with more than 6 people or invite Andrea to conduct a seminar for your professional group: How to Write Tough Letters Brilliantly to Get the Results You Desire


FEES 


1. Simple one page letter working from your first draft: US $100.00 - $250.00 



2. Project: US $250.00- $2,500.00 (Please ask for an estimate.) This work often involves a dozen or more emails between us, hours of creative thinking and research, writing, editing, a number of long distance calls, and distribution to multiple parties. Sometimes it makes more sense to write a news release than just a letter and I can also provide contact with appropriate local and national media and press. Comes with a satisfaction guarantee. 



(Not to be confused with general business writing. No resumes. See www.AndreaReynolds.com/writingservices.html for promotional writing services for experts.) 



Often, when someone has treated us badly, we have difficulty putting into words what we really mean to say while remaining civil and level-headed. Andrea puts your ideas and words into a format that clearly and confidently communicates your message to your intended readers. 



When she writes on your behalf, she uses civility, she makes her point clearly, she gets to the point quickly, and she uses critical thinking skills. Also, she won't write a letter that is abusive, threatening, or libelous.

How to start...


1. Email me to discuss your needs: crisiswriter@gmail.com



2. Tell me the whole story in writing... in complete confidence. Tell me: Why are you angry? What did they do, or didn't do? What have you done to try to get results? What correspondence do you have that will document your claim? What outcome do you want? 



Please send it to me by email: crisiswriter@gmail.com Send attachments as Word documents. Send digital photos or scan documents and send them as JPEGs. Please indicate you have them, but do not send unless/until I ask for them. 


 


3. After I understand the scope and complexity of the project, I'll contact you. Depending on what information I think I'll need to complete the assignment I may want to conduct an interview with you by phone. If so, I'll ask your permission to record our conversation for the sake of accuracy. If you want a copy of the tape there will be an additional expense of $10.00. 



Please note: I may recommend, instead of a letter, that 10 solutions may be more appropriate in some situations. In others, a news release and distribution to press and media may result in the best outcome for you. I can give you an estimate of this latter service.



4. If I agree to take on your assignment, please use this convenient, secure PayPal payment button to send me a $100 deposit and I'll be able to start work on the assignment and deliver your document to you by the agreed upon deadline.
