Writing experience

Expressing myself in writing has been a love of my life since childhood. I regaled my teachers with stories. Every employer since age 14 has gained the benefit of my corporate writing skills, in one way or another. I've published Web content since 1995. Traditional freelance submission to print publications has not been my primary pursuit, but I'm starting to pursue those opportunities as I develop content that belongs in that medium.

See my freelance writing resumé for details (MS Word or PDF) and enjoy the samples below.

Article writing

Non-fiction how-to articles, informational pieces (generally Internet-related), personal experience articles. I have published articles online, in print trade journals and magazines, and in local newspapers.
