I do this for a living. If you call with an idea or assignment, be prepared to discuss pay, rights you wish to own, deadlines, any contacts you think I need to use, photography or artwork needs, any special layout needs, length and tone.
I have been interviewed and featured in the following books:
- Tools of the Writers Trade
- How to Start a Home-Based Writing Business
- Real People working in Education
- Idiot's Guild to Getting Published.
Areas of expertise and tone/voice: I usually resist being pigeonholed and, as a longtime freelance journalist, can write about almost any topic if I can find the right people to interview. As you can see from the samples on this web site, I run the gamut from humor to darkly serious, from frothy to very technical. |
