About Me
- Colleen Mulder-Seward
- Dexter, Michigan, United States
- I am an experienced writer and editor with more than a hundred published articles to my credit. You'll find that I treat sources with respect, turn in assignments on (but, usually before) deadline and work with editors until the copy is just what they want. My editors know that I am the writer to turn to when they need clean copy with minimal hand-holding. I specialize in writing about: business, personal finance, investing, parenting, seniors, crafts, and religious concerns. Since 2000, I have served on the Board of Directors for the Southeastern Michigan Chapter of BetterInvesting. I am a nationally known speaker and instructor on investments and personal finance. Currently, I am the columnist for BetterInvesting magazine’s, ‘The Clubhouse’. I also serve as Editor In Chief for Retirementcalc.com. 2|42 Community Church relies on my editing and writing skills for their weekly e-Pistle newsletter. My education background includes both a business degree from Michigan State University and a Master of Business Administration degree from Wayne State University. To discuss how I can make your project pain free and successful, please contact me at colleen (at) colleenmulder-seward.com.
