As Walt Disney said, “There’s no magic in magic. It’s all in the details.” And Steven makes the details look easy.

Anticipating and addressing client needs is what led one client to ask if we could clone Brianne.
Not all writers are bookworms, but you can bet Ancherie is, since she worked for the Salt Lake City Public Library for a decade before coming to McMul in 2012.

While Emily’s official education includes a bachelor’s degree in English from LaGrange University and a master’s in technical communication from Missouri University of Science and Technology, her unofficial degrees are in the Star Wars canon and Taylor Swift lyrics. Since 2020, she’s been impressing one of our largest clients with precise editing.
Because Valerie is not one to brag, you might not know that she’s an incredible, competition-winning golfer. An effective golf swing needs precision and power, and that’s precisely what Valerie brings to her editing.
