Professional Experience
As a multifaceted writer, editor, marketer and coach, I bring 30 years of media and publishing experience to the table. I write compelling, readable stories and can help others do the same. You will find that I am a stickler for accuracy, skilled at research and disciplined at completing projects under deadline. I enjoy working as part of a team, be that contributing regularly to a magazine or helping a client finish a project. I look forward to talking with you about your writing and editing needs.
