A WORD GEEK AND BLACK BELT STORYTELLER

I mix, match, craft and cajole words and images into stories for fun (mine) and profit (yours and a little of mine too).

There's a story in everything. How do you want to tell your story? On a landing page? An article? The precious 140 characters of a tweet? Let me help. I'll work with you to find the themes, ideas, words and narratives to express your stories, then put them together colorfully and memorably. I've been doing it for 30 years as a journalist and public relations professional, working in words, sounds and images. My online portfolio lives in this temporary spot while I migrate it over to this page, but please check out both. Thanks for stopping by. Now let's wrap some great words around your great ideas.

MY SKILLS and EXPERIENCE

Writing

From whole websites to tweets, from Facebook posts to speeches read at the United Nations, from blogs to technical articles. What do you need? I've probably done it, and if I haven't I'll learn it -- fast.

Editing

With an eye toward mechanics and an ear for a story, I can make your writing sing.

Coaching and Tutoring

There's a confident and capable writer in you. Let's work together to bring that writer out.

Websites

My speciality is website copywriting, but I'm also a fair hand in WordPress and have some basic HTML coding skills.
