New York, NY

Copy EditorWriterReporter

I've been a first-rate copy editor for about 150 years, a decade of which was spent on the sixth-largest daily newspaper in the country. My work on national consumer magazines is also extensive and includes a great deal of fact-checking experience. My advertising agency clients include the behemoth McCann, Strat Farm, The Cooper Group, Visual Alchemy, BBDO and Alexander Design. I have reported and written stories from all over the world: an on-the-ground piece about tensions in the West Bank city of Hebron; magazine profiles of Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC's Morning Joe and CNN's Jack Cafferty; features on chic prosthetics, giant racing mechs, and bionic skin; and so much more. Clips available on request. My knowledge of AP style is Talmudic and I am well-versed in The Chicago Manual of Style, AMA style and Words Into Type. I'm a versatile and devoted wordsmith, obsessively attentive to detail. It's an occupational hazard. What can I say? I love the language. Hire me. You'll like me.

New Hope, PA

Book AuthorReporterCorrespondent

I am a reporter who enjoys going off the beaten track and reading evolving events to see a pattern before it becomes recognized as a major social or political change. I relish the chance to explore new territory, and new to find new material in territory that is already under the public eye. I like to travel into areas that do not welcome outsiders and find people to talk to. I am meticulous in my language and accurately reporting dialogue from my interviews. I enjoy the challenge of working through official explanations of situations where social or legal wrongs are endemic, and exposing cover-ups that will stand up in court. I care greatly about using language that is vivid, accurate and original. I believe that I am quick at reading the elements in a turbulent situation and I am not inclined to follow the accepted view. While I can wok fast, I never sacrifice accuracy for speed. I believe I can blend into a new situation and gain confidence of people in an a conflict area. I have enjoyed establish

WriterSocial MediaCopywriter

Based in the Washington DC area, I am a former television and radio reporter, working currently as a freelance journalist and 21st Century Media Strategist. I specialize in Social Media Journalism, Pitch and Press Release Angle Development and Strategic Communications Consulting working with businesses and corporations to create a strong 21st Century footprint. I have been in the industry for more than 25 years. My philosophy: It all comes down telling a good story... Whether you are at a cocktail party, on a ski lift with a stranger, in a business meeting or trying to sell something, it all comes down to telling a good story. That\'s because the trite phrase, \"communication is key,\" is always true. The cornerstone of any strategic communications campaign -- whether digital, traditional or a combination of both -- is your story complete with well-defined messaging, great content and an interesting angle. That\'s why, no matter the tools or venue -- press releases/pitches, collateral, websites, advertor
