foodsafety_1173Features, Science

I write to the audience, to motivate, educate, entertain, for alumni, travel readers, marketing, training.  I’m good at translating science and other complex subjects for non-science audiences.  I know how to get good quotes from my sources, no matter how difficult the concept.  I work well with editors to write stories that fit their needs — approach, length, deadlines.

scriptlist_BattlemindScript Writing

I’ve written scripts for all kinds of programs – training for soldiers, astronomy for middle school kids, history for everyone. I’m skilled at including soundbites, writing clear narration, dramatic scenarios for actors, and humor.  Because I’ve worked on almost every detail of productions, I know how to write to a budget, shooting constraints, and deadlines. My scripts include programs for the US Army, Navy, and Marine Corps, NASA, West Point, Daniel Productions, the University of Maryland.

Check out my script list.

Writing for development and marketing is only part of the package. The words need to fit the brand, the audience, and the graphic design.  I work with clients and teams to come up with  interesting ways to tell the story, from concept to production.
