I’m an experienced brand storyteller and creative copywriter and editor. I frequently speak and teach in my home base of the Berkshires and upstate New York, as well as in major cities like Atlanta, New York City, and Los Angeles. Join me for one of my upcoming seminars or classes on editing, blogging, writing for social media, marketing, and more.
