News and Updates for Summer, 2009:

My partnership with German-to-English translator Gunilla Zedigh continues. We recently completed work on a full-length psychology/health manuscript, as well as wrapped up work for the inimitable Frank Kunert, along with a few shorter pieces for the Rockstone Advertising Group. We have also recently done work on two different Hollywood screenplays, as well as various other short pieces. A Rilke story translation and accompanying essay on the translation process has recently been published. Other various and sundry projects have also been completed, with new ones on the horizon as well.

I am currently taking on new clients for all types of writing projects.

My goal/mission is to consistently produce gold standard, highly sought after work that will stand the test of time.

Your project is important; choosing the proper writer is even more so. Make it me!

I am available now to discuss your project via email at: maria_pias_mail@yahoo.com.

I look forward to hearing from you!

As always, my greeting cards are available at Damsalfly Boutique on Seattle's Ballard Avenue, and by special order, direct from me.

Thanks for your support!

Sincerely,

Maria
