Leslie Forsberg

Seattle, WA

WriterEditorContent Editor (online)

As a seasoned, SPJ award-winning author and writer for more than 20 years, I am a master storyteller. My stories dive deep beneath the surface to illuminate the true essence of place, the people behind the scenes, the meaning behind a subject. I specialize in travel writing, with a focus on remarkable places, natural wonders and the dining experiences that symbolize a region. When I travel, I have a keen eye for not only what's new, but the hidden philosophies or connections that really make a place sing. My stories have appeared in Alaska Airlines Magazine, American Way (American Airlines), Sunset, AAA Journey, AAA Westways, AAA Via, AAA World, Seattle Bride and other print and online publications. The recipient of multiple Society of Professional Journalist awards, I am the author of two books, including a Michelin guide to the Pacific Northwest. On the editorial side, I was a long-time managing editor of Alaska Airlines Magazine, as well as the editor of AAA Journey and Sea Kayaker magazines,

EditorWriter

I am a San Francisco Bay Area-based independent writer and editor--formerly of HarperCollins (where, until I went rogue in 2014, I was an executive editor) and Random House--with a penchant for the outdoors, sports, and samurai movies and a martially tuned perspective. My experience is in manuscript analysis, book doctoring, writing proposals, and ghostwrit...(boo), and I'm also extremely happy to contribute articles of general interest. With a journalism degree from NYU, and having worked as an editor or agent with authors as diverse as singer-songwriter Willie Nelson, football great Jerry Rice, TOMS Shoes' Blake Mycoskie, mixed martial artist Georges St. Pierre, fashion icon Lauren Conrad, and comediennes Rachel Shukert and Laurie Notaro, I am an egghead of the world. Thanks so much for your considering me!

Copy EditorWriterResearcher

I have recently begun freelancing as a copy editor in the book publishing industry, and I am seeking to expand to work projects with other publishing houses, the academic and news media, think tanks and NGOs and professional associations. My work as a staff and freelance writer has encompassed national newspapers, consumer magazines, local newspapers and documentary film companies. I recently finished my first book, which involves German covert operations in the Middle East during World War I, which I had to copyedit myself (a tough job because of the cornucopia of transliterated foreign words and British stylistic rules). I've also worked as a magazine photo editor and photo archivist, and I still freelance as a photo researcher for the magazine and book publishing market.

CopywriterSocial MediaDirector

Wherever you read it, good writing resonates. From Bertolli to Breville, print to PBS, e-commerce campaigns to features inviting hunger, thirst and thought, my cross-genre background guides my gut about what makes quality content. My 500+ regional and national clips span education, psychology and travel, and include b2b and ghost-written content; RFPs; news; profiles; and retail website content. Clients praise my work's wit and lyricism. I'm armed with curiosity and empathy, and from the corporate to the creative I deliver in clients' voice of choice because I take direction well. Consider me for your next project. I craft come-hither content that keeps people reading-buying-wanting more of what you've got. **NOTE: I'm based in Boston and Las Vegas.**

You have gifts to share with the world that no one else has. But if writing isn’t one of them, that’s okay. Relax! Because when words fail you, I won’t. I’ve been a copywriter, editor and ghostwriter for a dog’s age. Let me tell you a story. A few years ago, I was listed here on Media Bistro. Someone like you was looking for a copywriter to help him create an e-brochure to promote his very high-end, upscale services. I was curious. Why would a big-name real estate guy in New York City – the media mecca of the world – consider hiring me? A Canadian, eh? He said my profile stood out because it showed personality and a sense of humour. He hired me. I loved the project and our collaboration. He loved the results. Isn’t personality what you want YOUR writing to express? Not just to communicate your offering or ideas, but to genuinely understand and connect with your audience? He also appreciated that I was responsive, polite, and very easy to work with. Sound good? Please get in touch soon!
