Copy on Commission

I write a great range of marketing and public relations materials for my clients — from brochures, ads, fliers, websites, and product descriptions to bios, executive summaries, official statements, and columns and letters from senior leadership. An amateur music and film critic, I also write critical reviews and promotional materials for emerging and independent artists.

Articulating complex identities, often for multiple stakeholders at once, I create key messages, craft narratives, establish style, author voices, and collaborate with graphic designers to ensure quality at every step of the process.

I also have extensive experience writing back covers and dust jackets for books (most of which I edited for publication as well), insert copy for audiovisual media, and direct mail and email marketing for nonprofits and issue-advocacy groups.

Here are just a few samples of work. If you are interested in something you don’t see here, contact me for more information.
