I've been writing regularly since my first newspaper job in college in 1986, and I've been editing others' writing off-and-on since 1989 -- at my first newspaper job out of college. I've written one unpublished novel and three published books of nonfiction -- two on the rights of children in society, and a brand-new U.S. Constitution. I've written dozens of professional essays for online magazines, including The Savvy Street. I taught writing briefly at the university level (1995) and conducted dozens of private classes at home on "organized thinking" to freelancers from 1993 to 2006. I have a high level of motivation on projects, enjoying the challenges of such undertakings, as well as working with others, when the opportunity arises. I love the writing and editing process immensely.

I bring a wealth of information and experience to each project. After more than 20 years working in retail advertising and handling several positions: proofreader, print buyer, media manager, broadcast & web writer, and copy manager, I decided to go freelance about 17 years ago. I relish the challenge of working on different projects for multiple clients and consistently bringing new life to stale ideas. I enjoy educating the reader, making him/her laugh, or simply making something that could be boring and lifeless into copy that intrigues and is easily understood. With my retail background I am consistently focused on selling whether that means a product, an idea, or a way of life. One quality that makes me different from many other people is that I am as adept at scrutinizing the details (composing indices for 300+ page catalogs by hand, proofreading/editing, or being responsible for a multi-million dollar budget) as I am at being creative. That means I work equally well whether given tight parameters or let loose to run through the fields of my imagination and have a chat with the voices in my head. I ensure that the customer is happy with the final product and I strive to do the best job possible, be on point, and on time.
