I’ve completed a bunch of projects this year, including a few major ones, and am now open to new work, whether freelance projects or part- or full-time roles. Typically I help arts organizations, startups, or creative companies with storytelling—from strategizing what and how to publish to proofreading the finished product. Here’s a sampling of what I’ve done so far this year:

• Edited a 292-page book for a large architecture firm about its performing-arts hall designs
• Written product-update emails and other copy for Notion
• Launched my own startup, Valise, into an open beta (v1.0 arrives this fall!)
• Ghostwritten a nonprofit director’s fundraising-gala speech
• Copy edited an anthology of artist interviews, a major group-exhibition catalogue, and wall labels for exhibitions at several art museums
• Advised a nonprofit bringing together technologists, psychologists, and artists and provided editorial advice on its 60-page manifesto
• Published a weekly newsletter on big ideas in architecture and urban life
• Interviewed grantees for the Teiger Foundation and helped write the story of its new climate-focused program
• Written a zine for a mid-size architecture firm about its designs for university campuses
• Edited a book collecting 15 years of writing by an experimental designer and curator

Do you work at a company that needs help telling the story of what you do or executing the editorial plan you have? Or are you at a museum or other nonprofit that doesn’t have in-house editors and could use an experienced outsider? Be in touch; my email address is below.

In my personal life, I am building a website for the first time in more than a decade, ferrying the kids to and from various summer camps, and still coming off the high of the Celtics winning the NBA championship. I’m reading, always reading; some recent favorites are the NYRB reissue of Rachel Cohen’s 2004 book A Chance Meeting and Jennifer Kabat’s The Eighth Moon. And I’m keeping a list of 2024 albums I enjoy on Are.na.
