Available to support non-fiction writers, authors, journalists and more

I'm a pretty busy person, working full-time and spending time with family. But if you have a project that needs my help on a freelance basis, I'd be glad to hear from you!

My award-winning journalistic experience is available to non-fiction writers looking for assistance with their own projects, and as a supporting contractor for media organizations looking to expand the services they offer.

If you require research, interviewing, fact-checking, I can help.

If you require structural editing, organizational editing, copy editing or proofreading, I can help.

If you require data manipulation, analysis and visualization, I can help.

I specialize in non-fiction work; I've spent more than 20 years as a staff and freelance journalist for publications around the world. You can see my work in my clip file, which is complete from 2006 to the present, and increasingly complete as I add material from 2005 and before.

Please contact me by email or phone to arrange for my assistance on whatever project you have in mind!

On the hunt

It's official. I've finished my time at the Portland Phoenix, which has been a fantastic eight-plus years, and I'm looking forward to the next chapter of my personal and professional life.

I'm casting a wide net, for full-time, contract, and freelance work relating to journalism, editing, and research. I'll post more here soon, but in addition to regular freelance journalism for general-interest, alternative, and trade publications, I'm interested in helping with book projects, as an additional researcher, interviewer, fact-checker, proofreader, or editor for those authors who don't have the kind of support from their publishers as used to be more common.

Please get in touch with me to talk about how I can help you!


Unified look and feel!

Hooray! I've managed to figure out how to get three blogs to appear a lot like they're different parts of the same one. Same color palette was easy, subdomains were a little more complicated, and getting all the widgets organized properly was rather a pain - but I managed.

I also have created a new blog, for my portfolio - those stories and photos that are of particular interest, or of which I'm particularly proud. The full clip archive will still be intact, and I'm still working away at getting that stuff all posted. (It'll be a while yet.)

But I realized while doing that work that I need an organized way to store the special pieces, and the solution was obvious: another free blog!

I'll get that going here shortly too.
