Here's a small sample of the type of communications work I do.

PODCAST

Hobby Farms Presents: Growing Good

Since early 2021, I have interviewed farmers, gardeners and land stewards about the work they're doing for themselves, their families and their communities on and off the farm. Podcast episodes are released twice each month.
Listen here.

Video Production

Fundraising Video

I led the Emergency Community Food Pantry of Franklin County in putting their story into words for their Hunger Awareness Lunch and fundraising campaign.

Profile Video

I worked with Julie Zimmerman to draw out her background, her passions, and her work within University of Kentucky's Community and Leadership Development Extension.

Short Feature Video

I wrote the concept and speaking points and worked with the videographer to storyboard this video hitting on the highlights of a hard-to-find agricultural/food product.

Feature Articles

A History of Eating Seasonal Meats

I added my own knowledge of livestock production and food systems to interviews with food historians to explore how Thanksgiving turkey, Easter lamb, and other meat-eating traditions came to be.

A Case for Land Conservation

I examined the issue of over-development and farmland loss through interviews with horse-farm owners and land-conservation professionals for the article in a nonprofit membership magazine.

Woodstove Troubleshooting

In this service-to-the-reader piece, I break down often-confusing woodstove issues—primarily caused by operator error—by talking with experts in woodstove use for a rural-lifestyle publication.

Press Releases

Promoting Achievements

This press release announces the establishment of a new conservation easement for a nonprofit protecting natural lands in Kentucky.

Celebrating Longevity

40 years is a great run for a vital food-access nonprofit, and this press release was part of a campaign to highlight and raise funds for the organization's work.

Updating Offerings

Programmatic changes and product improvements are difficult to communicate, and this press release explains what's new in this unique farm product.

Nature Writing

With the help of two grants from the Kentucky Foundation for Women, I have been working on a series of nature-based essays, including this one, published by Orion.

Ghostwriting

I've been writing on behalf of other people since 1998, from fundraising appeals to editorials to books. I can't share what books, of course—that defeats the "ghost" part of this work—but I can share the process.

Let's talk about your project!
