Generally, I specialize by writing on topics related to business and law.
Business topics I cover routinely include banking, finance, personal finance, small business, legal issues, franchising, international trade, investment, venture financing, economic development, manufacturing (including research and development and ISO certification), management, management consulting, human resources, workplace issues, and information technology (only as it relates to business decisions and management).
My legal writing has included topics such as securities, corporate and commercial, international law and international trade, boutique firms, construction, franchising, immigration, real estate, trusts and estates, family law and municipal law. Please also see Corporate Communications Webpage: Corporate Communications
I believe that, as a professional writer, I can handle other topics as well. For example, I wrote the entire (5 articles) Toronto Fashion Week supplement for the National Post. I have written about gardening and landscape architecture and profiles of private schools. I also wrote contract travel articles for Canadian Press for four years.
