Pye (1999 to 2015) helping me at the computer.
Putt Putt Productions began in 2000 when I started freelance writing for a research company, whilst also working for them as a proofreader and copy editor. The end of 2007 and my employment at the research company marked the beginning of my full-time freelance "gig", making me more available to take on the types of freelance assignments I enjoy, such as copyediting novels, helping others communicate more clearly and effectively, and working on my own novels, short stories, and poetry.
These days, I also currently work part time at the Larchmont Chronicle as a writer, proofreader, and Gal Friday.
Below is Teddy, who has taken Pye's place in helping me get my work done.
So, What's With the Name?

Most of my life I have been fortunate to be surrounded by people who taught me never to give up on my dreams, but to keep on trying. Years ago, before I began this business, I signed letters and guest books with my nick name and the figure of a tiny car chugging up a hill. To me it described perfectly what life was like — chugging upwards just a little more each day like the story of The Little Engine That Could. Someone called my signature my "putt putt" car. I decided if I ever owned a business, that's what I would call it. Putt Putt Productions was born.
The name also reflects my philosophy that although the rest of the world rewards speed, it is quality work and a job well done in a timely manner that counts. John Utendale, an educator and father of a close friend, once pointed out to me that a good educator does not call on the first hand raised, but on the last, since that person has taken the time to think out the correct answer. I like to think that I take the time to do the job correctly for each client I serve.
