Writing

Writing

Write to instruct, not to impress. A college professor taught me that, and it guides my approach to writing. I strive for clear, succinct sentences and am skilled at writing to audiences of different educational levels. I’ve developed a passion for digging deep into complex subjects, then “drilling down” to craft straightforward messages that communicate the need-to-know information to lay audiences. 

I specialize in instructional/technical content but have experience writing a wide range of copy, including:  

  • Magazine articles
  • Editorial and advertorial supplements 
  • Annual reports
  • Enewsletters
  • White papers
  • Website copy
  • Promotional and educational brochures
  • Conference session descriptions
  • PowerPoint presentations
  • Custom/sponsored content 

Publications I’ve written for include:

  • FireRescue
  • FirefighterNation.com
  • JEMS (Journal of Emergency Medical Services)
  • Law Officer
  • Healthcare Executive

Interviewing

Good writing starts with listening. I craft compelling questions to draw out the most interesting angles in a story, then let the conversation take us to places I hadn’t necessarily anticipated. I’m skilled at interviewing multiple subject matter experts and combining their viewpoints into concise, informative content. 

Ghostwriting

If you’re a subject matter expert but don’t have the time or inclination to write, I can interview you and create a document that sounds like you and shares the information you’re looking to convey. I have experience ghostwriting for CEOs and other senior executives.
