Ed Avis, Writer/Editor
 

Concise, clear writing is my trademark. I specialize in writing about personal finance, business, technology, science, health, and fatherhood. My clients have included Crain's Chicago Business, the Chicago Tribune, Your Money magazine, Repro Report, Modern Reprographics, Chicago Parent, Kiwanis, American Nurseryman, Brand Packaging, and many other consumer and trade publications.

I also have written three books: Come On Dad: 75 Things for Fathers and Sons to do Together, The Lobster Kids Guide to Exploring Chicago (both published by Lobster Press in Toronto), and The Green Reprographics Handbook (published by Marion Street Press, Inc. And I co-authored an "Armchair Reader" book about the Civil War, published by Publications International.

I have edited more than 50 books, including four American Booksellers Association Book Sense selections, five selections of the Writer's Digest Book Club, four that were praised by William Safire in his New York Times column, and many that are used in journalism courses across the country. For 13 years I was editor/publisher at Marion Street Press, Inc., and for about five years I was editorial director of Health Administration Press.

What I Do

I welcome assignments from consumer and trade publications, newspapers, web sites, and other clients. I provide clean, accurate copy, on deadline. My writing makes complex topics understandable. Contact me at edavis@edavisassociates.com
