I'm an author/creative writing consultant based in Philadelphia, PA. I've worked with professionals from all sides of the film production and publishing industries. My work spans both fiction and non-fiction projects where I've contributed my writing, editing, research and developmental skills. I'm a published author/ghostwriter and have written nine screenplays to date with a produced credit. I co-produced an award-winning documentary in 2016. Currently I work on a part-time basis for a national tech journalist who writes weekly columns in Forbes and The Philadelphia Inquirer - and have broadened my skill set as a writer and researcher. Other skills include customer support, marketing/PR, media outreach, and relationship-building.
