About Me

Want to write your memoir but lack the time and inclination?

Hire me to do it for you!

You won't go wrong if you do.

I draw on interviewing and reporting skills I developed during my 30-plus years in journalism and as a writer of news and alumni profiles for universities.

I value comprehensiveness and clarity. Getting it right matters to me; I'm not afraid to ask "just one more question."

Just grant me several interviews, and I'll take care of the rest. And, of course, you'll have the final say when it comes to the book's content.

Not interested in a memoir?

I can also profile you in alumni and other publications, write/edit your newsletters, and provide content for your website. I do much of this now for the communications teams of Pfeiffer University and Florida Gulf Coast University. I've done similar work for five other universities, including UNC School of the Arts (which I covered as an arts reporter for the Winston-Salem Journal).

My Other Professional Interests

• Writing Inspirational and Insightful Stories for and about Professionals in the Arts & Entertainment Space*
• Writing/Editing Communications Pieces for Artists and Arts Groups
• Covering the Arts for Media Outlets
• Teaching German, ESL
• Blogging Reviews of DIY Ways to Learn Foreign Languages (e.g., apps, videos and podcasts)
• Reporting on Great Music in Maine

*Note: These stories can take multiple forms, including ghostwritten autobiographies, profiles for alumni magazines, and “in the can” copy for obits. Each such story has at least one of three aims:

1) to preserve remarkable story in the collective memory of the greater A&E community;

2) to provide fledgling and mid-career arts professionals with actionable insights of a more established colleague

and

3) to solidify (and market) an A&E professional's credentials as an accomplished expert.
