Who am I?

I, Priscilla Richardson, learned early about power of the written word when I won a shiny bicycle for my first place school safety essay. I have been hooked on the power of effective communication ever since! Publications as diverse as ICMA Public Management and Woman’s Day have featured my work as a freelance writer. Plus I have spoken at numerous seminars and conventions.

In addition, for six and a half years I created a weekly column, finding all the topics, doing the interviews and photographs, and writing the articles.

I taught myself to write through trial and error, mostly error. I believe I can help others avoid the trials and spare them the errors. Credentials? I hold two advanced degrees. These bear a close resemblance to a pig’s tail, highly decorative but not worth squat. When I speak I tell groups I will turn their ideas about writing upside down.

In my opinion, there are no rules of grammar.

You can get me for keynotes or extended sessions on:
