The world is changing. Shouldn't your writing change with it?
The digital divide is vast, and crossing it can be difficult for traditional writers. Conventions that have held for decades are being passed over in favor of quicker, sleeker, high-tech solutions. Letters to the Editor are being replaced by comment boxes; Op-Ed sections are being beaten at their own game by blogs and message boards. Books and magazines are all going digital, and are being designed with tablets and e-readers in mind rather than bookstore shelves. Traditional media outlets have to be prepared to adapt to his rapidly changing environment.
I can help your publication make that transition. With skills in both old and new editorial techniques, I can write stories that can make the leap from page to screen seamlessly. I can generate graphics and videos to compliment articles while simultaneously keeping the web layout clean and well thought out. Most importantly, I can do all of this with the disciplined organization and time-consciousness that only comes from a military upbringing.
