I write a lot, for lots of different people and companies and occasionally for myself. Below you’ll find some great examples of work I’ve done for many of these happy clients and publications. Thanks!

MAGAZINE, NEWSPAPER AND ONLINE WRITING/EDITING

Most recently, I was the executive editor of Delaware Today magazine, where I manage a talented team of staff editors and freelance writers, photographers, designers and illustrators. My role included conceiving, assigning and often writing stories for print and the web.

As a former newspaper journalist and busy freelance writer, I’ve had the opportunity to work for some excellent publications and write some incredible stories – more than 200 hundred of them just for magazines – on lots of people, places, events and topics.

My work has appeared in:

  • The Washington Post
  • The Philadelphia Inquirer
  • Main Line Today
  • Philadelphia Style
  • Delaware Today
  • Out & About
  • Drexel Magazine
  • Telemedicine Magazine
  • PennLines
  • Metro Philadelphia
  • Where Philadelphia
  • The Daily Local News (West Chester, Pa.)
