If you looking for a writer who is: Dependable: I can turn out brightly written features and hard news on a tight deadline without sourcing issues.And, I have the disciplined work habits to handle book-length manuscripts. Versatile: I can handle an array of subjects: environment, the arts, travel, gardening, social issues, religion, nonprofits, history. Creative: I can think outside the box, combining the perspective of a field reporter, a supervising editor and a page designer. Experienced: I have 30 years of experience writing for newspapers. I am co-author of a book "Pearl: The Man and the Place" to be published in late 2006.
