HIREMYHEAD
As an all-around "idea person", I welcome collaborations with advertising, media and other creative professionals.
To each project, I bring a passion for conceptual thinking, keen instincts and intuition, and the ultimate connection: a long-standing, chummy relationship with the English language.
I enjoy addressing groups and working on-camera, too.
Want to talk about the possibilities? Reach out!

READMYWRITING
Read "Fat is Contagious", the essay based on my social experiment employing a phony book cover with the same title.
Yes, it's true. I used to play hooky from high school by hiring a limousine driver to take me to New York City. Read about it!
Do you have a "fat picture" that no one's allowed to see? Drop what you're doing and read my essay "Read My Hips" as it appeared on iVillage.
