Meet Nicholas Gray, the new Pear Tree Secretary!
“Diversity: the art of thinking independently together.” — Malcolm Forbes
Happy Independence Day!
This summer is the eight year I’ve been independently running Pear Tree, doing a variety of thing with amazing people. It’s the clients who have made Pear Tree what it is – the people who have hired me to do lectures at their facilities, the people who have hired me to help them write their books, and so much more! Life is never boring. Diversity is a beautiful thing, and I thank everyone I’ve worked with since 2008, from the bottom of my heart!
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
Feel free to contact me in regard to using my services (writing, ghost writing, book editing, typing, public speaking/lectures) at: MaryAnneChristiano@Gmail.com.
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).
And check out my blog (http://maryannemistretta.wordpress.com/) for updates and happenings. Or find me on Twitter, Facebook, and Linked-In.
