Howard Gardner, Harvard University

"To write is to think, and to write well is to think well."  

-- David McCullough

He can identify and capture the essence of what you do--applying journalistic skill to ask the right questions, assess the facts, find the most compelling story angles and craft the words that connect with your target audiences.

The goal: Cut through the frivolous PR noise by creating authentic, urgent stories that engage your audience and inspire action.

Steven draws on wide-ranging knowledge (business, politics, public policy, travel, art and culture), a passion for story (the telling anecdote, the touching detail, the inspiring theme) and an eye for simplicity (aim for the essential). He  turns complex ideas and difficult subjects into succinct, understandable prose without sacrificing substance.

Put simply, he delivers quality and a damn good read.

Why seek his involvement?

Whether starting with a blank page or improving what's already on paper, Steven can help you say what you want to say--and say it better than you've said it before. He has produced work for such leading media organizations as The New Yorker, National Geographic, The Wall Stree Journal and The Economist Group, both with and without his byline.

This is what one new client emailed after receiving a ghost-written column produced on a tight deadline: "WOW. I wouldn't change a single word. This even sounds like me (only better)."
