A Writer Without A Clause
If you can’t touch someone what’s the point of writing? I’m not sure who said that but I think it’s funny. Regardless of what you may think, one thing is true, the words we write shape the way people think, act and react. Eleven simple words captured a moment in history. “That’s one small step for man. One giant leap for mankind,” said Neil Armstrong as he stepped foot on the surface of the moon in 1969. And in 1973 Jim McKay of ABC Sports used three words to announce to the world that 11 Israeli athletes and coaches had been murdered in the Olympic Village in Munich: “They’re all gone.” Nothing more needed to be said.
The late Steve Jobs was a master at using words. When he walked onto the stage at an Apple event he made everyone in the audience sit up and take note when he said, “Oh, and one more thing.”
I’m a writer and freelance journalist based in San Francisco. I’ve been a writer for more than 20 years. I’ve covered a wide variety of subjects including business, law, healthcare, travel destinations, meetings and special events, and parenting. What can I do for you? I bring subjects to life. The words that I write jump off the page and capture the reader.
I’ve been published in some of the biggest, most respected and most read periodicals in the world including Forbes, Entrepreneur, California Lawyer, Law.com, Law Technology News, The Asian Parent, Alzheimer’s Speaks and One+. I‘ve covered business, venture capital, management, entrepreneurship, legal issues, parenting, and travel destinations throughout the world. It’s an eclectic mix to be sure and the diversity has provided me the opportunity to create a global network of sources and resources. It’s also given me a perspective that most journalists don’t have.
Words are powerful. No matter what business you’re in what you say and how you say it matters.
