I contribute thoroughly researched scripts to the "Just a Minute" series on Nearpod, a subscription-based education technology platform. I've covered many subjects, teaching myself a thing or two about long-forgotten grade school topics along the way. Here are some of my favorites:
I wrote for Sorrentino Media's multi-channel effort to promote its podcast production services. The web copy—which included product/service descriptions, soft and hard calls to action, and FAQ panels—helped drive prospective podcasting clients toward purchasing options. Our content marketing efforts saw me contributing to the script for the ad spot, "Technical Difficulties"
I've published many articles, essays, and blogs on platforms such as The Brass Blog, Broad Street Review, HowlRound, Bright Wall/Dark Room, Book Riot, and others.
With this writing, I enjoy the challenge of penning SEO-minded work in an authentic voice, on subjects of import to me.
I am also a published fiction writer and playwright.
Let's work together.
