Words matter. Sounds obvious, right?
But with more people than ever clamoring to be heard in the personal and professional arenas, in the physical and digital realms, the written word is more important than ever before.

My name is Sarah R. Medeiros, and I'm a writer and editor. Let me help you find the right words.

Need an article or analysis written? Manuscript edited? Script analyzed? Is English your second language? Do you need help ensuring your message works in a multicultural environment? With all that and more, I can help you present your product in the best way possible. My goal is to help you achieve yours.

    • I've spent a lifetime studying words in all their forms. Before I even knew how to write, I was scribbling nonsense on notebook pages, pretending to do what I already felt was my calling. Now, after having earned my Master's degree in International Media from American University's Schools of Communications and International Service, I'm seeking ways to use my skills both in and out of traditional office settings.

    On this site, you will also find examples of my photography and video editing skills, as well as the aforementioned examples of my written work. (For client privacy reasons, I cannot provide examples of editorial work.) I am an avid photographer, particularly when I travel. All the photographs on this website were taken by me - except the one or two of myself.

    Although this is less relevant to the professional aspects of this website, I also occasionally dabble in poetry. I recently published two pieces in the Franklin & Marshall Alum Arts Review, and you can find them in Volume 3, Shift and Volume 6, Contact.

    I designed and coded this website myself using the Bootstrap framework.

    When I was a kid, my dad was big on acronyms. Whenever our little nuclear family played games, we always used our initials to jot down points instead of our full names - in my case, SRM. In my eight-year-old brain, it seemed more official than just using my given name, more - dare I say it - professional. And professionalism is always important; especially when you're about to whoop everyone else's butt at Scrabble. (Unless my grandmother was playing. I knew my limits.)

    As I grew up, SRM stayed with me, something that I often used as shorthand rather than bothering with my whole name. How I got the "writes" part of the handle should be pretty obvious by now. No matter in what industry I have found myself, from school through to adulthood, the sculpting and structuring of words was always both my highest priority and the activity from which I drew the greatest enjoyment.
