I am an Emmy-nominated TV journalist and PR expert who enjoys delivering high-level content to clients in a variety of formats. As a news industry professional who understands the power of strategic messaging through social media, news releases, newsletters, interviews, etc., my priority is to always help clients reach the right target audience and excel in their goals. From television news to public relations, I have more than 20 years of experience in the world of communications. If it’s great content you need, expect: ✔️Quality ✔️Prompt, frequent communication (This is so important for the success of any project) ✔️Honesty (I’m not afraid to offer suggestions or my professional opinion) ✔️Proper formatting of press releases, blog posts, etc. ✔️The use of copyright-free images where appropriate ✔️Top-level content written for clarity, accuracy, syntax and grammar ✔️100% original content (No AI/ChatGPT!) ✔️SEO-friendly content ✔️Native English speaker ⭐WORK WITH A PRO⭐ Don’t take a chance on an amateur just because the low rates are enticing. It’s likely to cost you time, money and dissatisfaction in the long run. My writing has been featured on AOL, Yahoo, MSN, [login to view URL], Hallmark, Zoosk, Wide Open Country, [login to view URL], The Nest, eHow, Chron (Houston Chronicle) and OMG Facts to name a few. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of interviewing lots of interesting people, including celebrities like Hollywood actor Danny Glover, popular TV chef Paula Deen, Hootie and the Blowfish, Olympian Scott Hamilton, ABC show host Ty Pennington and rapper-turned-actor Xzibit who previously starred on the hit FOX show "Empire." I've also interviewed presidential candidates like Newt Gingrich, Mark Sanford, Herman Cain, Ron Paul as well as Beau Biden, the late son of President Joe Biden. Also, journalists make the best PR experts. We know what works and what won't from a marketing standpoint. ⭐EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS⭐ Whether it's writing blog posts, marketing content or news articles, my writing style is very versatile and can be catered to your specific needs or topic. With every writing/editing/social media project I tackle, I strive for 100% customer satisfaction. I'm not happy unless you're happy. ⭐CONTENT SPECIALTIES:⭐ ✅Press Releases ✅Viral Content ✅News Articles ✅Blog Posts ✅Q&A Articles ✅Bios ✅Proofreading ✅Copy Editing ✅Marketing Copy ✅Creative Writing ✅Web Page Content ✅Interviews ✅Scriptwriting ✅Emails ⭐OTHER SPECIALITIES:⭐ ✅Green Screen Content ✅Voiceovers ✅Spokesperson videos ✅WordPress ✅Video Editing ✅Social Media Management (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) ✅Adobe After Effects ✅Newsletters ✅Flyers/Signs
