About My Business

After a number of years in advertising and public
relations, with a focus on copywriting; seven years of
general freelancing; and over five years in marketing
with a historic travel destination in central North
Carolina, I returned to freelance writing with a focus on
travel in June 2004.

Travel has long been a passion, but I am also able to
bring a variety of experiences in print journalism, public
relations and inside the travel industry to the table. I
believe I understand well the needs of publications -- no
freebies, no biases and an honest approach to text. But I
also understand travel and tourism, and the kind of
information many travelers seek if they wish to
duplicate a travel experience.

Since restarting freelancing, I have also written a
number of people and place articles that do not
necessarily fit the "tourism" framework.

In the summer of 2006, I undertook writing my first
full-length play script, and have continued to work on
scripts long and short since that time. I am in various
stages of working to produce or place those scripts.

Finally, in the spring of 2009, I took a class in voiceover
work -- having done some on a less-professional basis on
several occasions in the past -- and in November 2009
completed a recorded set of commercial and narration
demos. More information is available here.
