Welcome
Miranda C. Spencer
I'm a journalist and book editor who offers a nose for news, an ear for language, and an eye for detail gleaned from 30 years of eclectic publishing experience. My business provides writing and editing services to news media, publishers, and individuals. Together, we produce projects with purpose, power, and personality.
I've recently relocated to bonny Providence, Rhode Island. Have ticket, will travel.
What's New?

* This fall, an article about Doctors Without Borders that I wrote for Biography magazine in 2000 is a course reading for a poli sci class at the University of Nebraska-Kearney!
