My name is Victoria Ichizli-Bartels and I am the founder of Optimist Writer, an independent writing, publishing and consulting company.
My mission is to:
Creatively assist, entertain and inspire.
Optimist Writer covers both the technical and recreational aspects of writing. As an author I write both fiction and nonfiction, and these (especially the latter) are in both technical and creative styles.
The primary goal of Optimist Writer is to write books, articles, and essays, among other things, whilst also assisting fellow writers to accomplish their own goals.
As an independent creative writer I will assist you in completing your projects, and in the process of getting them published. I will help you identify your most suitable option in the ever-expanding world of self-publishing.
If you are a technical writer, the manager of a project, or an organization that includes technical writers, I can help you and your colleagues meet the necessary standards for capturing content, in particular S1000D®, the International Specification for Technical Publications Using a Common Source Database.
The word “Optimist” in the name of this company reflects its vision to:
Brighten the days of my readers and customers in their endeavours, and highlight for them the many possibilities they have to express and share their creativity.
