Feature Writing, Content Marketing, Case Studies, Blogs and More
I’ve been writing professionally for decades, at times under my own name and at times with pen names, and am proud to share some of my favorite work here. Part of what I love about writing is the opportunity to learn new things and experience different points of view. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to write about a wide array of topics, including architecture, sustainability, sports, education, fitness, building codes, design trends and much, much more. I’ve interviewed more fascinating people than I can count, including professional athletes and astronauts.
Many things I’ve written for clients, and many things I’ve written for myself. In addition to my freelance work writing features, case studies, content marketing and PR, I like to write short fiction and screenplays. When COVID-19 changed the world, I started writing a daily blog about parenting and working at home during those strange days. For 450 days in a row I posted in that blog, and from that record I am writing a book about my family’s experiences during that time.
I enjoy writing for myself, and I enjoy putting my skills to work for those who need help delivering an effective message and matching the right story to the right audience. I’m always looking to learn something new. Let me help you tell your story.
