About

My name is Lawrence Payne, and I'm a U.S.-based editor with three decades of experience in service to agencies, corporations, publications and individuals.

I have an extensive background in journalism, including placements in globally distributed trade publications, in-house magazine editorial, technical writing and editing, news writing, press, and copy for advertising and marketing. These experiences have sharpened my focus so that I'm able to present clear, precise text in any form or subject. Accordingly, I've built a roster of loyal clients in several countries, all of whom trust me to deliver the best work possible. From technical and legal documentation to marketing communication and multimedia, my work ensures a final product that's readable and engaging.

Thank you for reading. I look forward to your response.
