"You get ideas from daydreaming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it." -- Neil Gaiman
Whether you need full-length reviews, interviews, witty copy, or editing, I provide high quality writing services at affordable rates. During my three years at Onstream Media, a trailblazer in the world of digital asset management, I wrote the online copy for various distinguished companies including AOL, PBS, C-SPAN, and The Discovery Channel. I am currently a freelance writer for Buzzine, the culture and entertainment magazine that is run by Richard Elfman (former member of the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo). I specialize as a music journalist, and have interviewed the Grammy-nominated Junkie XL, Great Northern's Rachel Stolte, and Jason Reeves. I revel in any opportunity to fuse the technical with the creative and consider writing to be a science as well as a fine art.
With five years of professional experience in the field and two literature degrees from UC Berkeley under my belt, I am well-equipped to tackle whatever project that may be at hand. Please take the time to browse through my writing samples, and thanks for visiting the site!
