Wherever you are on your writing journey, I'll be there with you.
ABOUT ME
Welcome. I'm Trish Lockard. As Strike The Write Tone, I offer a full range of editorial services for nonfiction and creative nonfiction, and am a writing coach and ghostwriter, specializing in memoir.
In addition to my own clients, I often do freelance editing for publishers across the country.
I am a member of:
Editorial Freelancers Association
National Association of Independent Writers and Editors
In my personal life, I am a long-time member of and volunteer for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). I have served as a chapter president and am a certified classroom instructor for the NAMI program Family-to-Family. I brought those years of experience to my writing of Make a Difference with Mental Health Activism.
​
In October 2023, I became a Humanist Celebrant, authorized to attend to the pastoral and ceremonial needs of Humanists or those seeking nontheistic, nonreligious services. See my Celebrant page on this website and my Humanist Society directory profile here. I post about my celebrant experiences on Instagram as trishlockard.
Long ago and far away. . . after receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communications from the University of South Florida in Tampa, I began a career as a technical writer of software instruction manuals for telecommunications, insurance, cartography, and freight logistics companies, as well as corporate policy and procedure documentation and employee benefits handbooks.
I have co-authored a book with Dr. Terri Lyon, Make a Difference with Mental Health Activism: No activism degree required - use your unique skills to change the world.
