I'm Andrea Doray ...

As I was once quoted in a news profile: "Words are my life." Which isn't that much of a stretch to describe a career as a journalist, writer and editor, communications professional, teacher, mentor, and creative writer.

Now, I take on select freelance writing and editing projects that call for clear thinking, a strong voice, and careful attention to language.

That's because much of my work begins with a complex subject, extensive research, an interview, or even a rough collection of ideas—and ends with writing that is clear, engaging, accessible, and tailored to the audience.

The result? Writing that sounds like you, says what you mean to say, and connects you with the people you want to reach … accurately, authentically, and artfully.

When I said “Words are my life” in a profile written about me, it rang true: I’ve spent most of my career doing one thing in many different forms—making words work.

I’ve written award-winning newspaper columns and research reports, feature stories and white papers, executive communications and children’s books. I’ve edited everything from complex professional content to personal writing, and I’ve taught and mentored writers working on poetry, essays, academic projects, and dissertations.

My life with words has taken me into journalism, education, corporate and nonprofit communications, government projects, and creative writing. I hold an M.A. in Communication and Education, and my journalism and personal and creative writing have received awards and recognition.

Different subjects. Different audiences. Different forms. 

But always words.
