Professional Editing Services By Experienced Retired Lawyer & Association Executive

Meet Paul Ruden

I was Executive Vice President, Legal & Industry Affairs at the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) for 25 years, overseeing Legal, Government and Industry Affairs for a global trade association. In my work at ASTA, and before that in 19 years of private law practice, I wrote and/or edited thousands of documents.

I write a column for Travel Market Report (www.travelmarketreport.com) as well as a personal blog (https://shiningseausa.com). I also operate a consultancy through which I have served as an expert witness and have drafted large documents leading to major changes in federal legal policy.

Some commentary on my service to ASTA can be seen here.

I have decades of experience writing, reviewing, and editing documents of all kinds, including

white papers
Congressional testimony
legislative proposals
press releases
speeches
website content
legal briefs & motions
memos
statutes
regulations
policy papers

I offer my services as a copy editor on an as-needed basis, working as an independent contractor to you and/or your business. My editing services focus on clarity of expression and proper usage of the English language.
