I write for fun and I write for money. I also write for clients who sometimes put their names on things I have written.
Journalism is where my professional writing career began. I started as a stringer for the local paper (The Nashua Telegraph) writing arts & entertainment pieces and reviewing local theater productions. If there was a garage band with a CD release party within a 30 mile radius I was there with a pen in my hand and a camera strap around my neck. I proudly reviewed community theater productions of the Wizard of Oz and open auditions for Annies and I would gladly do it all over again. My early journalism experience taught me speed and discipline, and the value of turning in clean copy within a strick word count or column inch budget. Writing for print taught me the value of tight, focused communication that gets the story across with only what’s needed, and not a single word more.
I have written news stories, white papers, and multi-hundred page research reports. I have ghostwritten blog posts (yes, really). I have written about technology, the arts, and I have written about what to do if your boyfriend is allergic to your cat, for the Sunday Styles section. I love writing.
I am currently working on a book-length memoir and am always happy to write for hire. No project is too big or too small. I also have extraordinary project management skills, so I can manage a large scale, year long publication project, involving multiple authors and an outside editor, or I can churn out short snippets of web content with ease.
If you looking for a writer for hire, please say hello and tell me about your project.
