Welcome Nursing Home


Cadence Editorial Services

From their website:

A college professor, a journalist, and a punk rocker walk into a bar.

He orders a martini.

Wait: Is this a joke?

Not at all.

I’m Randal Doane, Ph.D., owner of Cadence Editorial Services.

I dig vintage bowties, brevity in rock n roll, and writing copy that turns your prospects into devotees.

And when I get to work on your project, I'm all business.
