Writing Samples

A partial sampling of my current and previous work

The Purple and Gold

Chi Psi Fraternity was a previous full-time employer and freelance client. The Purple and Gold is the organization’s alumni magazine, produced 2-3 times per year and sent to about 30,000 members. I was the Editor-in-Chief for 6 years and managed the magazine process from start to finish.

Green Hills Lifestyle Magazine

I was the lone feature writer for Green Hills Lifestyle Magazine for several issues when I lived in Nashville, TN. I covered everything from fine dining to historic hotels to local businesses to electric buses. This specific issue is one of my favorites.

Bishop + Ivy Blog

I was on retainer as a Marketing Consultant for Bishop + Ivy Design Studio, based in Dallas, TX. This blog is one of many things I produced for Bishop + Ivy, including a bi-monthly newsletter and several media pitches. I also managed social content and all paid advertising.

Keeper of the Flame

The team developing a documentary about Jack Healey, better known as “Mr. Human Rights,” wanted to drum up some media attention around the film’s primetime debut on PBS, so I wrote, edited, and helped pitch a press release for them.

T&D World

This was an intensive research project I took on as a freelance writer. It was the biggest chapter of a three-part dive into how utility companies can help achieve a smarter, cleaner future in America. Other significant portions of the project included general web work and a lengthy whitepaper.

Hoodline

I volunteered for a homeless advocacy program in San Francisco, CA, called Street Soccer USA. I pitched and wrote this piece for Hoodline.com. I also wrote a two-part Q&A with a Grammy-winning artist for the site (Part 1) (Part 2).
