Magazines
I’m curious and, for this reason, am involved with many groups and a variety of people. My non-fiction writing work crosses through a variety of topics and organizations giving me the unique ability to report on animal fostering, health (diabetes, hyperthyroidism, FIP, dental) and welfare for a number of publications.
Among my favorite articles:
THE AMAZING TEN
THE AMANDA PROJECT
My very first story:
SAMPSON AND BUGS: ARSON DETECTING DOGS
A stringer under the direction of West Coast Bureau Chief Jim Calio.
Top pieces:
TAX DAY BLUES
DIGNITY’S END?
OUT OF HIDING
STREEET SMART ART
ACTORS AND OTHERS FOR ANIMALS
HOUSE OF DREAMS
PIXIE PROJECT
Writer and editor.
Topics include:
nonprofit, health, welfare, fostering, success stories of rescue pets.
Radio
Advertising copy has a unique set of parameters to make it effective – especially if the copy is only going to be heard, rather than read.
I have written copy for several radio stations:
KWOW-AM
KNX-AM
KBKS-FM
KRWM-FM
KNDD-FM
Marketing Briefs and Press Releases
In the entertainment industry, publicity is everything. At SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT, I was in charge of the marketing briefs and press releases. These involved intense research and high-powered, persuasive writing. These in-house briefs informed executives and press alike as to what was going on in the world of SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT films and television.
