I am a writer, editor, cutural anthropologist and historian who lives near Hilo on the Big Island of Hawai‘i. My interests are telling people's (and places') stories, in writing and orally.
I write: • Histories of people, families, businesses and more. Want to turn your (mother's/business's/family's) story into a book or narrated video? Call me. • For business clients (newsletter copy, press releases, blogs, web copy, ghostwriting, sales letters, more). • For magazines and books.
I edit: • Other people's books, articles, blogs. I am a whiz-bang editor.
I research and share: • History, currently of the Big Island. With Judith Kirkendall, I lead van tours of the historical/architectural history of the Big Island. Contact Lyman Museum in Hilo for info: 935-5021, or drop me a line.
Please give me a call if you need a relationship with a writer, editor or historian. I'd be happy to discuss how I can help.
