Professional Experience

I'm an experienced brand storyteller, specializing in health, diet, nutrition, and parenting. I've written editorial pieces for dozens of national magazines, and branded content for national companies. I excel in taking complicated material and making it readable. I'm also an accomplished book collaborator and ghostwriter, having worked on seven successful books currently on the shelves. I'm dependable, efficient, and, in over 20 years of freelancing, have never missed a deadline. Visit my website, www.lesliepepper.com.
