Beth Luberecki

Nokomis, FL

WriterEditorCopy Editor

As a freelance writer for more than 20 years, I've covered everything from family travel to business startups for a variety of regional and national magazines, newspapers, and websites. I know the right questions to ask to craft a story that’s interesting, lively, insightful, and well written. And my years spent working as an editor mean that I turn in copy that’s clean and grammatically correct (and can help clients edit the work of other writers as well).

Cari Shane

Washington, DC

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
