Informed Storytelling

"Everyone has a story to tell. Because Janet is genuinely interested in what moves each person to pursue their passion, her subjects respond positively to her. That response is reflected in her stories, which are carefully researched and thorough, yet sensitive—a somewhat rare combination."

Meet Janet

On these and other topics, I bring to every feature story, personality profile, book or product review, newsletter, marketing project and essay the rigor of ethical journalism and an ear for absorbing narrative. I received a BA in Journalism and Sociology from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Public Communication, and a Master of Fine Arts in Writing from Vermont College where I focused on creative nonfiction. I am a Contributing Editor at Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors www.maineboats.com and a Boston Globe Correspondent. You’ll find many of my recent contributions to the Globe’s Sunday Travel section at  www.boston.com 

Each piece is informed by my more than 20 years of experience as a writer and media relations expert, primarily for nonprofit organizations.
