I have been writing most of my life - both professionally and creatively. As a journalist, I have written hundreds of news articles. As a PR pro, I have written strategic plans, press releases, newsletters, brochures, annual reports, fundraising collateral, promotional copy and many other materials. Most recently, I have written for the HiP Paris blog and am a guest editor and regular contributor for several Patch.com news sites in metro Atlanta. 

While it is not practical to include everything I have written, here is a sampling.
