If you're boring, you're not connecting 

What good is content that no one wants to read? As a journalist and editor, I spent 20 years writing the kinds of stories that got people talking for the New York Times, the Atlantic, BuzzFeed, Wired, the New York Observer, the NYPost, Redbook, Adweek, Fast Company, CNBC, and many others.

Today, I partner with business leaders and organizations to conceptualize, plan, and produce outstanding content that elevates brand stories and keeps audiences hooked. Whether it’s a full-length book, an impact report, a blog post, or a content calendar, I can take ownership of your editorial project and deliver a product that solves your business challenges.
