Hello! I'm a lifelong writer, former newspaper reporter, and longtime editor. I pride myself on being witty, incisive and straightforward. I'm a sucker for etymology. Misued homophones make me sad. I apply my journalism background to everything I do. My reporting experience has taught me the value and craft of strong storytelling, sharp interviewing and keen editing. Here are some ways I can help your school, company or publication: - Writing/ghostwriting articles, features, blogs, profiles, etc. for your website or in-house/alumni magazine. - Website or published copywriting, including company bios, mission statements, about us, services, product descriptions, etc. - White papers, one-sheets, email and other correspondence to members, donors, constituents and customers. - Content strategy and content direction for your website or publication, including creating style guides and working with freelance writers. - Newsletter strategy, creation, and writing or editing. - Copy and line editing for websites, articles, annual reports, ebooks and more.The late author Brian Doyle wrote that “information and data is useful at best, but no more than that; whereas a story (and the best stories are always about people) engages, thrills, horrifies, inspires, moves, startles, stuns, shocks, hilariates, and causes readers, while weeping and laughing, to throw money at you.” I'd love to talk about how I can help make your audience weep, laugh and throw money at you.Email me at hello [at] redpeneditorial [dot] co (that's C-O as in Coco Chanel or "You go, Glen Coco.").I look forward to getting to know you.
Listed skills include Copy Editing, Photography, Blogging, Journalism, and 45 others.
