Periodicals: Coastal Boating magazine, Vero Beach Magazine, Fifty Plus Lifestyles, Painting & Wallcovering Contractor magazine, wcities.com (The Bahamas), Treasure Coast Business Journal, Scripps Howard Press Journal, The Culinary Sleuth, Ceramics Monthly, Profile. Contributing writer for Fort Pierce: The Sunrise City. Comments: My sixteen-year stint in the Caribbean (USVI) before relocating to Florida often allows me a slightly off-center view of topics I write about. I research thoroughly, have a good eye for detail and submit exceptionally clean copy. I've spent most of the past 25 years in radio, beginning with a 90-minute live interview program five days a week on the CBS affiliate in the islands. I recently retired as host and producer of a daily arts interview show, as well as long-format specials, for the regional NPR affiliate in east-central Florida. In 2004, I received a national award, a Gabriel, for my special program, "Norman Dello Joio, A 90th Birthday Celebration." I've worked as a copy editor for the local Scripps Howard daily. Vero Beach Magazine, a four-color glossy, signed me on as editor-in-chief for the launch issue, but I quickly found that the freelance life was more to my liking. I have produced annual special interest calendars, designed print ads, written radio copy, made a living as a faux finish artist, and am working on a Web site aimed at teaching women to be independent. I'm a volunteer with Women Build: Habitat for Humanity. I write columns on Florida artists and authors for Coastal Boating. Writing style? Conversational, irreverent or humorous, as warranted, but I take the imparting of information very seriously. I'm best reached via e-mail.
