"Writer. Dreamer. Artist-in-Training."
"What do you write?"
That's the question people most often ask when I tell them what I do for a living. The answer is lots of things:
As a Vermont-based copywriter, I provide website content, blog posts, brochure and newsletter content, sales letters, human resource manuals. . . you get the idea. My goal is to help business owners, nonprofit directors and faith-based organizations communicate clearly and effectively with their audiences. For a look at some of my work please click on the "Business Samples" tab to the left.
As a journalist, I've written for many national magazines, including Animal Sheltering, E/The Environmental Magazine, Grit, Liberty, Listen, Mothering, Natural Foods, Urban Farms and Vermont magazines among others. Click on the "Freelance Samples" tab at left for some clips of my work.
And as a fiction writer, you'll find me at my keyboard early in the morning creating imagined scenes of suspense, trying to fit words together in ways that sound unusual or unique--like a painter, smearing a bit of cobalt here and crimson there, words become a sort of literary canvas.

Why Choose Me?
I've been writing for the past 14 years and my background in human services and degree in psychology lend themselves well to my work. I learned a lot about how people think, what influences their decisions, and how best to earn their respect. (Hint: it starts with listening.) These skills, along with my desire to write the best possible content I can, all help me succeed as a writer. They also help me in the "pre-writing" process as I interview sources, meet with clients, and conduct research.
What can you expect from me?

Thorough research
Well-organized information
A well proof-read final product
Personal service
A positive, enriching experience

Meeting deadlines on time or often early
