Writing that does the job for you

For more than 20 years as a freelance writer/designer/editor, I have been creating and producing materials that engage and hold the readers' attention: newsletters, brochures, feature articles, Web sites, fundraising appeals, direct mail promotion, product collaterals, press kits, news releases, op-ed pieces, business-to-business advertising copy, and more.

Persuasive fundraising copy and easy-to-read prose that demystifies industry-specific jargon, making technical information accessible to lay readers, are specialties.

Satisfied clients include

	major corporations
	not-for-profit organizations
	companies just starting
	trade and consumer magazines
	full-service advertising agencies

They value versatility that was honed in the corporate world, where I held creative and administrative positions with

	the entertainment division of a communications conglomerate
	the U.S. marketing subsidiary of Japan's largest pharmaceutical manufacturer
	production units of programs broadcast on national and syndicated television
	a national health information agency
	a pioneering New York City art gallery

Education: Pratt Institute, New York University, Japan Society, Art Students League, specialized courses with professional organizations
