Please let me know how I may help you perfect your written words.

From writing book jackets, catalogs, and brochures for major New York publishers to producing cookbooks, newsletters, ads, promotional material, poetry and plays, the written word has always been close to my heart.

I have written profiles, personal essays, and other articles for the Cape Cod Times, PrimeTime, Beyond 50, CapeWomen, and A Plus, among other publications, and was the feature writer and editor for Harwich Neighbors magazine. I had a staged reading of my 10-minute play, Francis with an E, produced, and am currently expanding it into a full-length play.

I have edited young adult and children's books, memoirs, historical fiction, mysteries, and non-fiction.
