Pamela Brill

Northport

A digital and print content provider for national and regional consumer and trade publications, I have spent the last 30 years doing what I love best: creating a compelling story. Be it specialty retail, gift and toy trends, children's books, women's health or parenting issues, the range of topics I have covered knows no bounds. I pride myself on crafting compelling copy, from conception to completion (and yes, I adore alliteration!). An editor and journalist for today's readers, I am equally skilled in generating SEO-rich content.

Geri Aston

Chicago, IL

EditorWriter

I am a Chicago-based journalist who has covered health care for more than 25 years, first as a reporter, then as an editor and now as a freelancer. My specialties are policy reporting, health care quality, hospital issues and general health topics. I'm experienced in news, feature and editorial writing, as well as editing. I'm skilled at taking complex subjects and making them accessible to readers. I can write for any audience, from doctors and hospital CEOs to consumers. I enjoy both hard-hitting pieces and light, consumer-oriented articles. Although health care is my area of expertise, I'm versatile enough to write about almost any subject.

A health and medical news fanatic, I bring vast experience to the art of understanding and filtering this information for thoughtful readers. I write for physician audiences wherever they are—mobile, Web, and even--gasp!--print. My repertoire includes professional promotional tactics, medical news, speaker series, Web sites, mobile products, banners, and CME activity. A particular strength: my ability to speak to professional and lay audiences with clarity, ease, and succinctness. I have contributed health-related features to the Johns Hopkins White Papers, Barron’s, Ode, and Real Simple. I’ve been a blogger since 2003, primarily in health-related areas, but also covering environmental and conservation issues for a social media site of recreational anglers and hunter with nearly 200,000 Facebook fans. I am constantly searching for writing or editorial projects to which I can bring my fascination and deep experience in these fields to a large professional or consumer audience.

Book AuthorEditorProducer (new media)

I'm a published novelist (4 books) who has cut my professional writing/editing teeth for the last ten years, editing a high-end, regional, lifestyle publication; writing the Paris Guide for USAToday; co-authoring the Explorer Resident's Guide for Paris; contributing to the Fodor's and Frommer's Guides; writing numerous articles for national publications (Glamour, Self, Allure, etc.); and turning www.BonjourParis.com and www.StopPagingMe.com into money generating websites (taking them both from offering free content, to selling Premium Memberships and earning thousands within the first month). What I know best is writing, editing, the web, and the magazine business; that -- combined with my strong workaholic work ethic, my happily huge and ever-growing Rolodex, and my natural ability to always write far ahead -- gives me the opportunity to bring a lot to anyone's table.
