Curriculum Vitae
1985 - Present
CorpWrite, Ltd.
It was easily one of the craziest things I'd ever done--jumping ship from a comfy corporate PR job more than a quarter century ago, to
become a freelance business writer. But the move has paid big dividends--not
the least of which is a writing repertoire that quickly expanded to include:
executive speeches; presentations for trade shows, management planning
sessions, sales meetings and financial analyst conferences; magazine articles;
video scripts; marketing and sales brochures; web content; annual reports; and
management white papers.
Another dividend - the opportunity to write for companies and organizations
working in a broad range of markets and professions:
