Journalism

If I had to distill over 20 years of journalism experience into one sentence, it would be this:

Every person has a story, and every story is important.

In public relations, one creates or maintains a positive narrative about a person, group or organization. Marketing is more about selling a product or concept.

In journalism, however, unlike the other two professions, the truth is sacrosanct. 

Here’s how I can help

 

Editing

As an editor, my job is to be present for all aspects of the writing process.
I can help you create, develop, and fine-tune your article prior to publication. I also specialize in copy editing, substantive editing, and proofreading. If you need help with editing, please click here.

Writing

I’ve heard this question posed countless times: “Why do I need a writer?”

I’ll give you three reasons:

  • BECAUSE SOMETIMES, THE VOICE YOU NEED IS NOT YOUR OWN.

  • BECAUSE FINDING THE RIGHT WORDS CAN BE DIFFICULT.

  • BECAUSE YOU WANT YOUR PROJECT TO BE THE BEST.

While I’ve written various kinds of articles over the years, the story types below are where my true strengths lie.

 

Blogs & Columns

​​Need regular content of local interest to add flavor to your publication and draw new readers? I can write pieces on marriage, parenting, race relations, politics, humor, or popular culture — in a manner timely, professional, and ready to publish.

Diversity & Inclusion

Unlike the “old days,” drawing an audience means reaching outside the mainstream audience. If your content is of interest to women, people of color, and LGBTQ communities, you can boost your readership and, hopefully, your bottom line. And while representation does matter, being culturally competent is vital to writing such articles. Let me help.

Features Articles

Need an article exploring an aspect of popular culture? Comic books, cosplay, novels, television programs, and movies are my reality. These kinds of stories often have spectacular art, and we all know that great pictures help sell great stories.

News Articles

​​Need a piece of enterprise reporting crafted, or perhaps a features article related to popular culture? I can do the job for you in a manner that is timely, professional, and ready to publish — even if all you really need are “green-grassers.”
