My specialty is friendly, conversational, to-the-point copy that sells a product, a service, an idea. Person-to-person copy that draws the reader in and elicits a response. Besides writing, my expertise is in branding, corporate writing, internal and external communications (newsletters, press releases) and editorial content.I'm an award-winning radio writer, too.
