I am an award-winning freelance writer and editor in the Chicago area. I love helping people spread the word about their passions, insights, advice and experience, either through writing stories or editing someone else’s words.

I frequently write magazine and newspaper pieces on lifestyle issues, family and parenting topics and personal profile features. I also tackle copywriting, web copy, marketing pieces and blog postings. I pride myself on helping people hone their message in a professional and accessible style.

You can check out some samples of my published work. If you’re an editor interested in purchasing a piece, I’ve listed my articles that are available for reprint. As a bonus, you can learn a little bit about me.

Let me know how we can work together!
