Professional Writer and Emmy Winning Video Editor

My 20+ years as a professional creative writer and video editor, coupled with extensive experience as an author and journalist, means your projects will be delivered professionally, on time, and within budget. I’m here for you one hundred percent, with an eye on quality that will ensure that your project is completed successfully. Writing and storytelling are my passions. Your content – writing or video – will benefit from my career experience as a professional creator and my skills as an experienced, client-centered Upwork freelancer. Clear communication is critical to the success of any project. My commitment is to ensure that your needs are clearly understood upfront. Accurate timelines will be provided and lead to deliverables that meet your specifications. Project deliverables will be completed in the format and/or style you require, clearly reflecting the tone and nature of your business. More below about how I can help with your projects. Also, Please take a look at my Portfolio to see work samples. Here’s how I can best help your projects succeed: Creative Writing ---------------------- As a professional writer of over twenty years, author of five novels, and fiction ghostwriter, I have fine-tuned an ability to create that will keep your readers interested, informed, and wanting more. My ghostwriting experience includes young adult, middle grade, horror/suspense, and memoirs. I've also written marketing content for a wide variety of businesses, large and small. Your fiction/short story/narrative text will be engaging and concise. Plotting and character development are critical, and I will meet and exceed your expectations, whether the intended audience is a loved one or potential customers. Your blog or article will be written in ‘your’ voice (conversational, business, educational, informal) and reflect your desired point of view. Your projects will also benefit from my expert command of the English language and sincere commitment to excellence, giving you consistent, professional results. My writing services also include professional correspondence, including production proposals, speeches, recommendation letters, cover letters, and personal appeals seeking the resolution of a difficult situation. You will be provided with drafts and final content in Microsoft Word to allow for marked changes and ensure your written materials reflect your unique perspective and to make sure you are getting exactly the results you desire. Please see my Portfolio for examples. Biographies ---------------- My skill as a professional writer and developer of numerous documentaries and educational video content offers a clear understanding of the power and importance of a well-written biography. An effective writer finds the story in every assignment. My client biographies are never simply a chronology of facts- they tell a story; what made you the interesting person you are today. If I haven't created a biography that makes an emotional connection, accessible and appealing to the reader, then my job isn't complete. You can also be assured that your biography will be created for maximum impact of the audience you indicate (prospective employers, investors or customers). Please see my Portfolio for examples. Video Editing ------------------ Your video editing projects will benefit from my 20+ years of experience, including my Los Angeles Emmy Award-winning television work and extensive content prepared for corporate clients, independents, and YouTube creators. I can help you with creating content for social media, documentaries, training videos, and educational films. I’ll deliver quickly and efficiently, meaning that you won’t be “watching the clock” as a project drags on toward completion. My documentary Video Editing projects include socio-political, historical, biographical, entertainment and instructional programming. Your projects will benefit from my experience as a creator of content presented across a variety of local and national networks including PBS, TruTV, and distributed to schools and corporations worldwide. My expertise with both Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere editing systems, along with my experience editing short to feature-length programming, will contribute to your successful projects. In addition to my technical expertise, you will have the advantage of my keen sense of story, timing, and the ability to successfully manage video post-production. This means your projects will be well-planned and executed on time within the agreed scope and budget. Your content will be provided to you in the format of your choice. Please see my Portfolio for examples.
