Welcome, to all who need to have something written!

I am the best freelance writer and editor you’ll ever work with. I've been writing about real estate, finance, luxury retailing, food, sports, fashion, international business, and current affairs for more than 25 years. I've written Web content, by-lined articles, reports, white papers, speeches, presentations, marketing packages, advertising copy, press releases, and proposals. My clients include The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, National Jeweler, J.D. Power & Associates, Prudential Douglas Elliman, American Airlines, Travel + Leisure, Ernst & Young, TIAA-CREF, and a great many others. There’s not much I haven’t written about, and nothing that I can’t write about!

• Are you building or revising your Website? Let me help. I can write new material from scratch, or I can take existing content and make it more attractive to your potential customers.

• Are you a public relations or marketing specialist who’s swamped with clients, all demanding that you get their projects done yesterday? Let me help you with the worst ones. I’m good at working with difficult clients and keeping them in your stable.

• Do you believe you have a book in you, but don’t know how to write it? Have you been called on to give a speech at an upcoming meeting, or write an article for a newspaper or magazine? I can help. Just tell me what you want to say. I’ll write it for you—and you’ll get the credit.

• I'm absolutely dependable. I'm careful and accurate—and above all, I'm fast. If you need something done yesterday, I’ll just ask, “What time yesterday?”—and that’s when you’ll have it. I'm a total team player, I'll fill in wherever I'm needed, and I know how to make the client look terrific.

If you want "dependable," if you want "professional," if you want to put your project in the safest possible hands, call me.
