Writing that has the power to surprise and delight, challenge and inform.

From breast cancer to diabetes, community murals to academic art, environmental justice to the human face of war, I have written stories with clarity and compassion. My documentary-trained eye discerns the essence of character and story, which I deliver without frills. I dig deep in interviews and reporting, in order to reveal insights that keep readers engaged.

I am known as a fast, collaborative writer, attentive to details and deadlines.

My areas of special experience include:

  • Higher education

  • Arts and culture

  • Healthcare and women’s health

  • Social justice

  • American Jewish culture and politics

Wendy is a consummate communications professional with high-level skills and experience across many media. She is a first rate writer for both print and online outlets, an invaluable strategic thinker, an excellent story creator regardless of form. I have worked with Wendy as both a client and a collaborator and have found her intellect, her work ethic and her creative insights to be unmatched.
