WHO IS THE HOLLYWOOD WRITER?

I am a boutique copywriter and "multi-specialist" with experience in entertainment, fashion and travel writing (especially related to France).

Originally from New Orleans, I've been living and working in lovely Hollywood, CA for the past 8 years.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF MINE

I began my career in New Orleans as an entertainment journalist (weekly newspaper), then moved to an ad agency (Peter A. Mayer in New Orleans), then spent 4 years as head marketing writer for The Times-Picayune daily newspaper.

In L.A. I've picked up a few more skills, which sometimes come in handy when combined with my "base" skills.

I can help with:

  • Copywriting and editing (my specialty; I also have an M.A. in English Writing from Hollins University)
  • Working with your designers and web developers to improve the copy and flow of your website (which sometimes means being able to "speak their language")
  • Animated GIFs, Photoshop, HTML
  • Excel work, PowerPoint presentations, and more.

FRANÇAIS. ESPAÑOL. NIHONGO.

I also speak a reasonable amount of Spanish, French and am currently learning Japanese.

WHAT MAKES THE HOLLYWOOD WRITER DIFFERENT

I often bridge the gap between "generalists" (like customer service reps) and your "super-specialists" (such as graphic designers and web platform designers).
