Writing, editing and design by a 20-year newspaper professional

In an age of instant communication, the proper message remains key. I have been a newspaper reporter and editor, writing or improving thousands of articles. As a journalist, I understand the importance of getting it right the first time.

I am available for any project in which printed materials need to be clear and accurate.

If you have a question, send me an e-mail or a tweet. Think of me as your on-staff editor for quick answers to brief questions.
