Articles and Profiles for Nonprofits, Businesses, and Academia
I’ve been a professional writer for most of my adult life. Think print and digital articles, newsletters, marketing materials, citations for achievement, training courses, and narratives and short stories that have been featured in anthologies by major publishers.
These days, I specialize in researched articles about people. My academic citations for achievement are read at alumni reunions and presented framed to honorees. My tribute columns honor faculty or employees who have retired or passed on. My e-newsletter profiles introduce members of communities to one another. My magazine profiles help entrepreneurs market their businesses.
I invite you to peruse my portfolio, which is sortable by industry and subject matter.
If you have a project that seems like a fit, take a moment to drop me a line on my contact page.
I look forward to working together!

I have worked with Gillian for ten years in preparing citations that are presented to alumni at our institution. Her thoroughness in researching the honorees, her attention to detail, and her writing are second to none. These citations, though concise, never fail to capture the essence of the nominee.

I hired Gillian to do a professional profile about myself and my company on a quick turnaround. I was amazed at her dedication and professionalism as we completed the work ahead of schedule. What impressed me most is Gillian’s unique talent for uncovering the core message and highlighting it in an inspiring way that readers easily connect to. This is by far one of the most valuable investments I’ve made in my own professional development and the promotion of my company.

Gillian brings to her writing a keen eye for consistency, which is especially valuable when working with multiple sources. She also takes the initiative to do research on her subject, particularly when background information is limited. Gillian understands the audience and purpose of her assignments and is conscious of practical concerns, such as deadlines, word counts, and protocols for permissions and approvals—all traits that editors and project managers value!
Jean Smith, Editor, Sarah Lawrence magazine
