More About Me
Throughout my freelance career I’ve written about topics that range from Swiss chocolate to suicide, fine art to pharmaceuticals, real estate development to concrete construction—and more.
I’ve managed projects that include monthly periodicals, peer-reviewed journals, video productions, consumer-directed magazines and business-to-business communications.
That’s the fun. That’s why I do what I do. Curiosity drives me. And as I help my clients educate and inform their own audiences, I get to learn something new every day.
I draw energy and inspiration from my personal passions—my pets, my garden, family and friends, food and fitness. And, of course, words.
“Rebecca has been a valuable resource to my publishing and public relations business
for nearly 20 years. She’s done every editorial job possible for us, from proofreading for
style to feature writing to substantive editing of peer-reviewed health and science
journals. The absolutely best thing about her (aside from her delightful sense of
humor) is that she is absolutely reliable: You give her a deadline, she meets it. She’s a
complete pro.”
Nancy Petersen, Mitchell Petersen LLC, Alexandria, VA and Annapolis, MD
“Rebecca has been working with us for several years now — came highly recommended to us as a smart, seasoned writer. I knew we’d found the right fit right out the gate when she took to the seemingly dry content with equal parts enthusiasm and tenacity. Her willingness and ability to embrace any subject, dig deep and craft copy for a variety of media have made her an invaluable part of the team.”
Cathy Austin, President, Loop 9 Marketing,
Falls Church, VA
“Rebecca has worked with us at Washington Information Source Co. for 10 years as managing editor for several of our publications. In that time I’ve come to rely on her news judgment in choosing articles for our newsletters on pharmaceutical regulation, and to appreciate her ability to translate FDA reports into clean, concise, readable English—which is no easy task. She has become an essential part of our operations.”
Kenneth Reid, President, Washington Information Source Co.,
