Here are some of the other services, besides educational and public health consulting, that Farrell Ink uses to advance its mission and assist its customers:
Writing
As a freelance writer and author, I have several creative works in progress in addition to offering writing services for customers. My strengths are readability, emotional expression, and clarity. I can articulate your vision through print journalism, poetry, scripts for speeches and videos, web content, or any text you wish to share. Before writing, my first concern is to understand the audience, because my goal in writing is to communicate information and experiences that enrich the lives of my readers. My work demonstrates an attentiveness to vocabulary levels, cultural values, and targeted marketing strategies. Have a need I haven’t mentioned? Don’t be afraid to ask! As a creative person, I am always looking for new and interesting challenges.
My experience also includes leading writing workshops in drama, poetry, and web content. I have lead workshops from one hour to one week long, for audiences ranging from middle-school-age playwrights, to college poets, even including retired non-profit volunteers. All workshops have the aim of: 1) creating a supportive and safe writing environment, 2) teaching participants how to cultivate interactive communication, and 3) spreading awareness of effective and free or low-cost technology.

Marketing Materials
Why teach if no one is there to learn? Why write if no one reads your work? Not only do I create targeted print marketing materials to spread the good news about the work you do, but I also can train your staff, parishioners or membership how to get the materials into the right hands. I can assess your capacity to see if your organization is ready to handle the people you recruit and to involve them deeply enough to make it worth your investment. In the adult education world, this is called “Recruitment, Retention, and Persistence.” In the Christian sphere, it is labeled “Evangelism, Membership, and Discipleship.” Whatever you call my work, I am thrilled to assist any group looking to advance the principles of social justice. If you serve the City of Cleveland’s Ward 7 or are a member of InterAct Cleveland, then you will receive a FREE postcard or poster design along with any other purchase.
Video & Photography
With the relative low cost of digital cameras and free video editing software standard on every new computer, it seems like anyone can be a director, myself included. This comes last on my list because I make no claims to have professional experience in this area, but it sure is a lot of fun!
