Claim your profileAfter more than 35 years as a print journalist, I have made the successful transition to freelance electronic journalist. At present, I write a business column that appears weekly in the Desplaines Valley News and manage two of my own business news websites. Comings & Goings and Southland Savvy are devoted to business news in the south and southwest suburbs of Chicago. My business columns have also appeaed in the Daily Southtown, SouthtownStar and AOL Patch sites in Chicago Heghts, Home-wood-Flossmoor, Frankfort, Mokena, Tinley Park, Orland Park, Oak Lawn, Evergreen Park and Beverly-Mount Greenwood. At present, I am assistant editor for South Holland Today, the village of South Holland's monthly newspaper, as well as editor of BridgeViews, the village of Bridgeview's monthly newsletter. Other clients include DNAinfo.com/chicago. I am an old school wordsmith actively seeking clients who want to tell their story their way but through good writing and who believe that all writers need editors. Nobody works better with people than I do. Add to that my knowledge of AP Style, familiarity with Mac and PC operating systems, proficiency in Quark Copy Desk and Quark Xpress, Photoshop, and social media and you have a force you can depend on.
