I’m a skilled – and fast – writer, who can turn around a media statement in a few minutes and an op-ed in one day. I also draft speeches, web content, letters to the editor, digital fundraising campaigns, magazine articles and books for advocates who want to influence policy debates.I’ve written for prominent political leaders, CEOs, and heads of major trade associations, nonprofits and advocacy groups, including Michelle Obama, Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Bishop Desmond Tutu, among others. My work has appeared in the New York Times , the Washington Post , the Wall Street Journal , Politico , Roll Call, US News , The Hill , Time.com, cnbc.com, Healthcareblog , Huffington Post , among others. I have been a consultant to two successive presidents of the National Organization for Women, and our press statements and letters to the editor are picked up by the Times, the Post and other major news outlets on a regular basis.I work with business, nonprofits, candidates and causes that want to play a central role in urgent policy and political debates. One way I accomplish this is with rapid-response op-eds. When news is breaking, and you're the expert, I can help you submit an op-ed while the news is still fresh--in most cases, on a same-day turnaround schedule.I also write newsletters, speeches, email blasts, website copy, direct mail and digital fundraising and longer projects. Working with talented graphic designers, I create print brochures, ads, leaflets and flyers that find what Tony Schwartz called "the responsive chord." I immerse myself in your mission, synthesize your message and communicate your goals effectively. I'm successful when I capture your authentic voice to create targeted communication designed to persuade people to do something hard, like voting, donating money, or supporting a point of view.As one client told me, "you really 'got' us, which is not easy to do."
