I have loved words ever since the day I sounded out my first on a “one way” sign during a family road trip. It wasn’t long before every last penny of birthday cash was spent on Nancy Drew and Little House books. As an adult, the collection has changed a bit – now it’s fiction by Chris Bohjalian, Tracy Chevalier and John Irving, with a healthy mix of cooking and knitting books thrown in. Each collection is a happy work in progress.
I earned a BA in Journalism in 1988, began my professional writing career as a community newspaper reporter and editor with Forbes Newspapers, and later helped launch a chain of successful weekly newspapers in southern New Jersey. In the years since, I have worked as a public relations account executive for the travel industry; and as a freelance writer and/or publicist for real estate agents, universities, public relations agencies, corporate communications departments, custom publishers, businesses, entrepreneurs, lobbying/brotherhood groups, energy companies, book publishers, destinations, authors, musicians, non-profits and individuals. I also have extensive experience copy editing for a top NYC-based executive placement firm. My favorite volunteer gig by far was PR for a no-kill animal shelter in New Jersey, where I was often paid in dog.
Among the many types of writing I’ve enjoyed producing are these: press releases; pitch letters; op-ed pieces; ad copy; video scripts; web copy; radio scripts; magazine and newspaper feature articles; alumni, employee and special interest newsletters; newspaper articles; special advertising and custom publishing sections; bios and real estate listings for multi-million dollar homes.
