Linda Andrews

Milwaukee, WI

Book AuthorReporterWriter

Writing about health and psychology is my passion. A prolific journalist and author, I focus on health, medicine, mental health, psychology, and the mind/body connection. Along with extensive experience, I have a master's degree in psychology. My byline appears widely on major websites, and I blog about "Minding the Body" for Psychology Today. I'm also the author or coauthor of fourteen books, including six books about adolescent mental health for Oxford University Press. In addition, I create custom content for dozens of large medical centers and health insurance plans around the country. Much of my writing focuses on factors that foster health and happiness - things such as diet, exercise, mindfulness, sleep, stress management, and a connection with nature. I have a special interest in health promotion and disease prevention. But I also write frequently about living well with chronic illnesses, such as anxiety, depression, diabetes, heart disease, asthma, and COPD.

Margaret Crane

WriterEditorReporter

With more than twenty years' experience, I specialize in explaining clinical and basic research findings to lay audiences. Human interest articles, profiles, service pieces, and "listicles" also are well within my capability. My secret? I humanize even the driest of topics. I strive to understand and promote my clients’ priorities. I do my utmost to establish deep rapport with my sources, whether they happen to be physicians, scientists, non-profit managers/executives, donors, or patients and their families. And I'm passionate about my craft.

Need to cover the latest beauty and lifestyle trends online or in print? Look no further. Whether it's reporting on hair trends for SELF, BRIT + CO or INSTYLE MAKEOVER, organizing my office on a budget for WOMAN'S DAY, blogging about beauty products for SHOP.COM, covering boutiques for NJ LIFE's shopping guide or spearheading the SELF Healthy Beauty Awards, I always give 100%. I started my career writing in-house at GLAMOUR and settled into freelancing full-time with writing and editing gigs. My portfolio is flush with print and content, focusing mostly on beauty, but also with fitness, fashion, health, profiles, how-to advice and short trend pieces. I'm also a whiz at managing special editorial projects, including awards, wrangling prizes for contests, or creating edit for custom magazines.

Crack!... Heads smoke for days from this freelancer's silver-bullet reporting on technology, power, politics and art. Words akin to adrenaline shots to the temples, fact-finding that confounds convention, eviscerates assumption, piddles on groupthink and opens minds. I cover music, film, theatre, art, technology, public policy, Wall Street, human interest and community affairs, profiling the people, cultural trends, market forces and shifting political winds that impact us all.
