-author Judy Blume

-Academy Award-winning producer James L. Brooks
-actor Chad L. Coleman
-screenwriter and director Kelly Fremon Craig
-actor, Josh Duhamel
-actor Kevin Dillon
-actor Dan Bakkedahl,
-actress Abby Ryder Fortson
-actress Alba August
-actress Miranda Otto
actress Teresa Palmer, and more...

With an SEO-focused approach, I can deliver long-form or short-form content. Besides journalism, I have had four published novels by major publishers.
