Writing, Editing, and Content Strategy
Great ideas often need a little help to become great publications or websites.
Paula Tarnapol Whitacre has operated Full Circle Communications, a writing and editing business based in Alexandria, VA, for more than 15 years. We work with nonprofits, companies, and government agencies to bring their great ideas "full circle," from initial concept to completed piece.
