The ultimate dream in life is to be able to do what you love and learn something from it. — Jennifer Love Hewitt
Happy Valentine’s Day and Black History Month! During this month known for love, inspiration, and perserverance, I trust that everyone will continue to pursue their dreams. While we are still in the pandemic here in the USA, we continue to be cautious. At Pear Tree, I’m working 100 percent from home, except for some random modeling gigs. Last month, I scored two new clients for writing gigs and have not met either publisher. This is nothing new for someone who is self-employed and working from home, but damn, I want the option! Who can relate? As the rest of you, I’m looking forward to the day when we can handshake with our clients again!
View the next section “What Can I Do For You?” to see what I can do for you and your business! Whether it’s blogging or writing or working on your book – I can help you get your not-boring life down on paper!

Note: We can work remotely during COVID, via ZOOM or telephone. This has been working out great. Why not start a new journey from the comforts of your own home? Get that book written today!
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
During these stressful times it’s hard to think about dreams, or business in general. But if you want to get your mind off of things, writing a book may be a great idea. And I can help you. Shoot me an email at: maryannechristiano@gmail.com
I’m also available for blogging, editing, essays, and Facebook updates.
Rates are reasonable, and the first hour phone (or in-person) consultation is free to potential new clients. Every client who uses Pear Tree services will be featured in the newsletter (unless for whatever reason they don’t want to be in the newsletter, as privacy is respected).
