BACKGROUND

Machon Ink is a woman-owned, state-certified small business enterprise (SBE), based in Northern California. If you're looking for a professional to handle your writing needs, I can help. I'm an experienced, published writer of compelling feature articles and business collateral. But unlike many writers, I also have the expertise to help you develop and implement a full-scale communications program with all the bells and whistles included - for those who need more than words alone. My corporate background includes public relations and public affairs support for federal and state agencies, local municipalities and special districts, nonprofits, small companies and trade associations. I also routinely work as a subcontractor to larger agencies and contractors - and I'm perfectly comfortable in that role.

Over the years, I've developed and implemented countless public awareness and outreach campaigns, and written and edited hundreds of articles, brochures, direct mail pieces, media kits, magazines and newsletters. I specialize in translating complex and technical issues into terms that target audiences can relate to and understand. I also enjoy creative and feature writing and have had numerous articles and essays published.  Ironically, much of my work I can't even discuss or show off -- as a ghost writer for other agencies and entities, I am sworn to secrecy. In a nutshell, Machon Ink offers full-service copywriting and agency experience without the typical agency overhead. That means more cost-effective services for you. And I get to do what I love - help you get your message across, on time and on budget. Lynn Machon Owner
