This site is designed to introduce editors, publishers and web masters to my work as a journalist, and my track record in print and on-line media in a concise, convenient and vibrant format. In recent months, I have focused primarily on food, wine & spirits, home entertaining and travel pieces for print and on-line media, but still have extensive resources and contacts to put together pieces on interior design, business-to-business profiles, health & wellness, Jewish lifestyle and other lifestyle topics.

The principal sections of the site include an assortment of published articles, my resume and an overview of what I do for a variety of trade books, consumer magazines, web sites and newspapers.  If you have any questions about the material posted, my writing and editing practices, subjects I cover or things published on outside sources about me, please contact me directly at 4elyse@earthlink.net.

Other Services: I also offer public relations, advertising and marketing writing services, such as biographies, fact sheets, press kits, press releases, web site copy and other collateral. If you are looking for memorable, magazine-style copy that will keep your audience engaged, let’s talk about how I can put you or your clients’ best face forward.

New: Haute Links!  Check out my ever-growing list of links to interesting and useful web sites. If you’ve got something, someone or a great charitable cause you want to promote, let me know!  I will be happy to post your web site and other information.

My updated resume for 2009 is now posted for download, as are some new links to recently published articles (as they appear in print and/or on-line).  As always, these materials can be emailed direct to you as well.

I have just posted a newly-published article on my “Published Articles” page in response to college students and others interested in getting into freelance writing as well as other people interested in how a writer markets him or herself.  If you have any other questions, in addition to my qualifications, what I cover or any other topic of interest, I will be happy to address those questions directly.  The article is from Quill, published by the Society of Professional Journalists.  I am posting the article also in response to the current state of the economy and how some competitive professionals may behave as a result of the increasingly challenging nature of the print media field.
