I'm a creative writer & journalist
based in Southern California
A storyteller and an observer of human nature, my writing adds a human touch to enliven scripts, marketing collateral, and corporate communications.
What have I written? An Emmy Award-winning PSA, among others, a nationally touring musical, radio and TV commercials, TV news segments, docu-shorts, corporate video scripts, online advertising and promotions, manuals, newsletters, comedy, press releases, surveys, grant narratives, reports, programs, and program notes, and a column for the Los Angeles Daily News and stories for Examiner Online.
Services
Script Writing
Testimonials, documentaries, TV and radio ads, PSAs, live presentations, acting scenes, films, narration, audio description, website introductions. Sooner or later everybody needs a script. I'm an experienced voice actor and news and on-camera host. I know how many words fit into a prescribed timeframe and which words will reach your audience.
News, Press, and Publicity
Content Strategy
Especially proficient in reporting on arts and entertainment, I craft everything from press kits and promotional prose to news coverage of your performance, art show, new product release, or grand opening festivities.
I'm a creative consultant. Need a Busby Berkeley-style production number ad on a budget? Talking toys? (My Emmy Award-winning concept.) Need to set a specific tone for a project or firm up its mission and purpose? From concept to creation, I'll help you get it done.
