About
If we're new to one another, I'm Elizabeth Thompson — "E" for short. I work as a writer, editorial executive, content architect, and development strategist. I love well-placed words, big ideas, and authentically connecting with audiences of all kinds.
My clients include journalism teams, think tanks, research-driven firms and nonprofits, a wealth management advisory firm, and for-profit companies in four sectors.
My work experience has provided a wealth of knowledge about people, relationships, effective communication, and earning trust. And like most humans, I've learned as much from errors as from wins.
"Just never make the same mistake twice." — Robert W. Roche, aka Grampy

"Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir... Make big plans; aim high in hope and work. Think big."
"The whole difference between construction and creation is exactly this: that a thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed; but a thing created is loved before it exists."
"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."
