WRITING SAMPLES

Print

In 2003 and 2004, I co-authored a college-level textbook, Connections: Writing for Your World (Thompson-South Western). Click here to see a sample chapter.

For Business 21 Publishing, I write management newsletters for CFOs, supervisors, and HR executives. See a sample copy here.

Articles

OpenMindsOpenDoors commissioned me to write an informational campaign about people living with mental illness. Read the brochure or visit the web site.

Commissioned to ghostwrite industry magazine articles for corporate clients. (I almost put a link here, but if I did that, it wouldn't really be ghostwriting, would it? You'll have to trust that I can capture your voice and communicate your point of view to an audience of your industry insiders. How can I know enough about your industry to write about it convincingly? Good old fashioned reporting. That's how. I ask questions, take notes, probe sources, confirm the facts, and write the story.)

My other writing includes essays and articles in the Philadelphia Inquirer, plays that have been produced in the U.S. and abroad, and scriptwriting for the Emmy Award winning television show Rugrats.
