I am an award-winning writer, editor and historian based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I've worked at those endeavors and in non-profit management and development for almost 30 years. I am a dynamic grant proposal writer with a successful track record of raising substantial sums for my clients, and I have researched and written the histories of several organizations, including Ironworkers Local 8 and the Women's Coalition of Milwaukee.

Recently, I served as editor on an inspiring collection called A Celebration of Caregiving: Portraits & Stories, published by IndependenceFirst. In 1998, in conjunction with the Wisconsin Labor History Society, I wrote a book about women labor union pioneers in Wisconsin titled Like Our Sisters Before Us: Women of Wisconsin Labor.

I have won many awards for my writing, editorial work and research. At left are links to my writing credits and awards, writing samples, and testimonials. Feel free to download my business brochure.

I am available to consult with you, your business or organization on any of these projects:

• grant proposals (government or foundation)
• corporate and organizational histories
• annual reports
• book projects
• speeches -- for business, political or personal occasions
• newsletter and web copy
