I'm a journalist, blogger, editor, copywriter, and consultant.
Looking to hire an experienced, savvy word-person?
Here are a few of the things that I do:
I'm a journalist.
My writing has appeared in Harper's Bazaar, Details, Newsweek, Salon, Slate, The Daily Beast, Marie Claire, Esquire, The Guardian, Men's Health, The Atlantic, Glamour UK, The Billfold, Women's Health, Inc., The Telegraph, Movieline, The Vancouver Sun, Radar, The Virginian-Pilot, Nerve, Wired, The New York Post, Arena, Variety, The San Francisco Chronicle, The San Francisco Examiner, The San Francisco Bay Guardian, The LA Weekly, and many other publications.
I'm a blogger.
On my Forbes blog, SIN INC, I cover the vice beat. I've uncovered how much strippers make, test drove a bra gun holster, and attended porn conventions. The blog has been mentioned by the Wall Street Journal, AdAge, ESPN, BuzzFeed, and Katie Couric. In 2002, I created one of the internet's first sex blogs, The Reverse Cowgirl. In 2008, TIME.com named me one of the top 25 bloggers of the year. I've guest-blogged for Kottke and was a blogger for Slate's Double X.
I'm an editor.
From 2008 to 2011, I was an editor for Time Warner's The Frisky, a digital vertical for women, where I covered everything from fashion to celebrities to relationships. I wrote nearly 1,400 posts and led the site's online outreach program, helping grow the site's traffic to 4M unique visitors and 22M page views a month through my network of blogger influencers. From 2011 to 2012, I was the Digital Outreach Manager for Conan O'Brien's "Conan" on TBS, teaming up with Emmy-winning Team Coco Digital to create compelling content and increase engagement.
I'm a copywriter.
As a copywriter, I've worked with Publicis Groupe's MSLGROUP and Weber Shandwick, creating social media content, commercial scripts, and celebrity ghost-tweets for multi-billion-dollar brands. In 2008, I partnered with American Apparel to debut a series of controversial banners on my blog that provoked widespread debate and were covered on BuzzFeed, Fleshbot, and Nerve.
I'm a consultant.
I consulted on Steven Soderbergh's "The Girlfriend Experience" movie about a high-class call girl and on "E! True Hollywood Story: Child Star to Porn Star: The Scotty Schwartz Story."
