My logo features a sand dollar. You might wonder what a sand dollar has to do with writing. Why not use a pen or a quill or a typewriter to symbolize my profession?

I know a lot of professional writers — journalists, authors of non-fiction, and novelists — none use a quill and very few use a typewriter. We jot notes by hand, but more often than not, our writing takes place at the computer.

I think a sand dollar is prettier than a computer.

A sand dollar is a mnemonic device to help you remember my name. Sand Dollar — Sandra Dell — SD Writes. You may not remember Sandra Dell, but I bet you will remember this sand dollar. If that doesn't work, you could hum a few bars of "Look at Me, I'm Sandra Dee" to fix it in your memory.

That song is in your mind now, isn't it? Sorry.

Another reason is that I'm a Florida girl who loves the beach. When I walk along the beach, I often find shells, sea stars, sea urchins, and, yes, sand dollars. Sea stars are cute. If my name were Sandra Sue, I might have chosen a sea star for my logo. But I am Sandra Dell, and the sand dollar suits me just fine.

Don't let my relaxed tone fool you. I am not casual about quality. I am a former certified public accountant. I can produce professional business and technical writing. I take your business and the quality of my work very seriously. Sand Dollar — Sandra Dell — seriously determined to serve you.
