My Background
Who am I? My Resume

 

I am a Boston-based writer and editor specializing in aging and boomers, work, health, education, and family issues. I have published in the country's top magazines, newspapers, and on major Internet sites, and am the author of two books. I also do corporate communications work for custom publication companies, corporations, and organizations.

My strength lies in my ability to take complicated material and concepts and transform them into layman language. I can write on most topics. I've covered the Catholic Church, engineering, terrorism, and raw food for Newsweek, legal trends for Columbia Pictures, incest for The Los Angeles Times, and deployment/relationship issues for the U.S. Military.

I have been happily married for more than 30 years, and yet I write extensively about divorce and co-wrote What Every Woman Should Know About Divorce and Custody: How to Keep the Kids, the Cash, and Your Sanity. A segment on parental kidnapping I helped produce for ABC's “20/20” was nominated for an Emmy Award.

I have interviewed Muhammad Ali, Curt Schilling, Tom Peters, Michael Crichton, Lance Armstrong, Geena Davis, and other well-known folks. On a New York Times Foundation fellowship, I discussed the issues of aging with Walter Cronkite.

In more than thirty years of writing, I have never missed a deadline. In fact, I wrote twelve pieces in two weeks for a new Johnson & Johnson website!

As Mark Starr, the former Newsweek editor, has said: “Sally is the consummate pro—fast, organized, thorough—and a talented wordsmith. Once I've placed an assignment in Sally's hands, my worries have ceased.”
