Award-winning business, book and magazine writer Leslie Lang has slipped off the side of a replica Polynesian voyaging canoe to delight in underwater whale song, hiked alongside preserved footsteps of ancient Hawaiian warriors, and kayaked across a pristine bay accompanied by dolphins—all in the name of freelance writing.

BUSINESS    Leslie Lang also specializes in writing press releases, articles, ads, newsletter copy, web copy, sales letters, blogs and more for businesses. "When it comes to writing, you are a master craftsman and I am just a carpenter," says one long-time client. Why hire a professional to write for your business, and how do you work together?
