Service Description:
It's said the proof is in the pudding - likewise, the writing itself tells the story. In the end, good writing is what you as a customer are paying for - words. If you read my work, I'm confident that in my writing samples you will see all of the elements of top professional writing - flawless language, strict adherence to theme, rigorous intellect, appealing humor and always, a well conveyed message. I recognize the difference between objective writing and editorial, or persuasive writing, and am well versed in both.

In the end, a writer and a client engage in a temporary marriage - the client's ideas and the writer's words. The two have to be compatible for it to work, so I always advise a client to choose a writer whose style best conforms to the results they are trying to achieve.

I have written for newspapers, (Beacon Hill Times, Boston Phoenix) magazines, (Improper Bostonian, Stuff, Living Buddhism) newsletters, (Boston Research Center) have published fiction, non-fiction, poetry and children's stories. (Samples in portfolio) I currently have an agent representing my detective novel, Love in Vain Blues, which is being considered by ten major publishing houses.

I also am an excellent lyricist and have both collaborated with professional musicians and written songs on my own. I can create fresh and unique lyrics for a songwriter's particular wishes, and have several examples of various styles in my portfolio.

I bring a diverse background to the table, applicable to websites, magazines, businesses and other venues in need of an excellent writer or content provider who can work in a large number of fields of knowledge. I work quickly, can fashion clear, accurate, engaging copy tailored your needs. I've worked at all levels in writing, from basic information to scholarly research. I work well with creative people and can write sparkling copy, in synch with the overall tone, flavor and audience required of the project.

I've published in the following areas - journalism, informational writing in magazines (product review, food/restaurant review etc), scholarly writing (Boston Book Review, book reviews similar in level and content to NY Times Review of Books), business promotion (web), children's stories, fiction, poetry (various magazines).
