About

    Shorthand is a content writing agency, based in Orange County, California. We work with businesses, charities, entrepreneurs and individuals who need to craft a compelling message.

    My name is Daniel Midson-Short, I am a writer and speaker, and the founder of Shorthand. I love to work with businesses who need content for their websites, blog articles, social media or presentations.

    I believe that the written word influences us more than we realize. Once an idea is shared, it becomes a part of our thinking, and eventually changes our behavior.

    The right words can build trust and spur action.
    The wrong words can do the opposite.

    One of the worst things you can do is to bore your website visitors. If your website looks great, but has boring or generic content, people will leave. They won’t give you a second chance.

    Why Shorthand?

    The name of the company is a cheeky nod to my last name. But more than that, it’s a description of our process.

    Writing and creating content requires a form of shorthand. You must be able to connect with your prospects and customers in a way they understand. You already know how to do this, and it’s my job to help you do the same thing on your website and social media.

    Sit with me for an hour, and I will create a more compelling story for your brand, a more convincing sales page, a more engaging social media campaign.

    If you have questions about our content writing package costs or our writing process, please email me and I’ll be glad to make time to help you.

    I’m here to help make your words work for you.
