Professional Experience
As a freelance journalist, I cover health, lifestyle, and singles issues, with essays and reported pieces on everything from swingers to singles’ rights, compulsive hoarding to hair loss, Botox to bedwetting, freak magnets to Valentines from hell.
Books include a dating manual for the modern mangled single, HOW TO DATE IN A POST-DATING WORLD and the edited anthology, SINGLE STATE OF THE UNION: Single Women Speak Out on Life, Love and the Pursuit of Happiness.
As a copywriter, I've created radio spots, web content, brochure copy, news releases, museum exhibition text and promotional emails.
