About Linda

I’m currently at work on a dark historical novel represented by Heather Jackson Literary Agency.Before this, I wrote professionally for over 25 years on topics ranging from cold-water extraction to travel. My clients included print magazines, websites, marketing agencies, book publishers, and brands. I also taught hundreds of freelance writers through online classes and one-on-one coaching, and trained content teams at major brands. Finally, I developed and sold an app called Brainstorm Buddy for evaluating content ideas.I paint in oils, and sometimes add digital features or run the paintings through digital filtersBelow is a list of my clients. Any links will send you to samples of my writing work.
