Thanks for visiting Word Mountain.

    I founded Word Mountain in 2003. We've blossomed into a successful editorial services and writing boutique, serving the Greater Boston area and beyond.

    I've always been fascinated by the written word, and how we use combinations of words to develop and represent the tangible and the intangible--thoughts, ideas, events, objects, and processes. The quantity and quality of what we can communicate with arrangements of these odd-looking things called letters--and only twenty-six to choose from--amazes me.

    Clients count on us to meet deadlines and provide consistent expertise for their writing, editing, and project management needs, and we really enjoy meeting that commitment. But honestly, I personally get my greatest professional satisfaction from the repeat business and referrals that we've received over the years. What could be a better indication of a job well done than more business?

    Prior to starting Word Mountain, I wrote technical documentation and managed various projects for Lucent Technologies (working globally as well as locally), led a staff of top-notch writers for Curl Corporation, and created marketing copy for premier small businesses. I've written or edited thousands of pages in a cross-range of industries, including software, telecom, healthcare, general business, non-fiction and fiction.

    I've also interviewed literary agents and other publishing  industry professionals for a terrific online writers' resource, Absolute Write, for nearly two years, and I have a novel in progress.

    Please email me at Labbate@wordmountain.com to discuss your project. Confidentiality is assured, and I'm happy to sign a NDA before discussing your project and reviewing your content.

Best,
