I make my living as a freelancer. Here are a few clips, in PDF format, of what I’ve been doing lately.

What happens when personal trainers flex and tell? From Hour Detroit.

A profile of Susan Sherer, director of the Super Bowl XL Host Committee. Also from Hour Detroit.

Sometimes editors want to know if I can write short. Sure can. The 2005 Hour Detroit holiday gift guide represents the biggest freelance check I ever got for what was, in essence, three dozen cutlines.

But hey, I can write long, too — a very long essay on newspapers, for the Indiana Policy Review.

And I work in radio sometimes: “Elmore Leonard’s master class on Detroit,” an essay for WDET, our local public station. And here’s another: “It’s a jungle out there.” Both require QuickTime.

A short profile, again for Hour Detroit, on a cancer patient who has a really good oncologist.

More medical miracles — three of them, in fact — for Hour Detroit’s annual Top Docs issue.

Finally, what is a hypermiler? Glad you asked.

All but the gift guide are fairly small files. They’re PDFs, so if you can’t read them, I can’t help you. Read, enjoy (or don’t enjoy), send feedback or hire me.
