– Press Releases –
Getting a media outlet to actually publish submitted information is always a challenge. Let me turn your information into a submission that is succinct and ready to go in the form that mass media requires. Editors want information that can be snapped up and used with little alteration on their part. With years in the news writing business, I know what is required.
EXAMPLE: Tsunami Dinner article

– Biographies –
Family and Personal Histories –Everyone has a story to tell and every family has someone remarkable that they would like to have remembered forever. I will write a scintillating, sincere, picture of your family or loved one, giving them their rightful place in history, and in the hearts and minds of generations to come. I offer biographies in a multiplicity of lengths and depths: from small 16 to 32 page pamphlets, to longer booklet and book length sizes.
Company/Corporate Histories – People are often afraid that tooting their own horn will sound arrogant and off key. I’ll turn you or your company’s skills and benefits into a delightfully tasteful read that people can turn to for clarity and a true understanding of exactly what you and/or your company, are all about.
– Feature Stories –
Do you have a story you want to tell? A story about something you have done, a trip you have taken, or an incident in your life that you want people to hear about? I will write that story for you in a way that will see readers laugh with joy, shed a quiet tear, or be wowed by your achievement.
EXAMPLES: Sandy Stolen; The Cat Came Back; Nadine Sinking.

– News Articles –
With today’s dwindling budgets, news organizations (both print and television) have fewer and fewer reporters available to cover events or happenings. If you, your company, or service organization requires coverage and publicity I will write the story that gets attention.
EXAMPLE: Town Council piece; Margie Grant Blizzard; Tracadie Waste Protest; Herring Protest; Charlottetown Rotary story

– Speech Writing –
Speaking to any crowd requires a connection with the listeners that will hold, entrance, and create a personal bond between you and them. I have been writing speeches for individuals on the national level for 10 years. Whether speaking to a professional group, congregation of fellow workers, or a group of community residents, my speeches deliver.

– Interviews –
Getting beyond the fluff or superficial is essential in any effective interview. Whether highest level dignitaries, families in the midst of tragedy, sports heroes, or the spoon collector down the street, I am able to slip in to the person’s psyche to where it counts, and come away with what’s really needed to write a factual and fascinating story.
