Freelance Writer – Leslie J. Thompson

Here are a few brief food and travel-related articles I’ve written. (Some are under my maiden name, Leslie Rosenberg.) I did a really snazzy piece on Montreal a few years back, but it ran in a newspaper, and I can’t figure out how to scan the sucker down to a readable size. Hopefully, these tasty tidbits will still whet your appetite.

Although I consider myself a generalist, as far as my freelance writing goes, I have actually written relatively few articles intended for a general audience. Usually, I write articles for trade publications, or create marketing copy or Web content related to a specific industry.

Still, I very much enjoy writing general interest pieces, a few samples of which I have posted below. (Leslie Rosenberg is my maiden name.) To get a quote on a project, please email me at leslie@lesliejthompson.com.

A good journalist must be adept at gathering information and weaving it into a coherent story. It also helps to be a quick learner. If you’ve got those qualities nailed, then it doesn’t matter whether you’re writing about widget manufacturing, profiling a celebrity dog groomer, or recounting the history of space exploration. You can even do medical writing without breaking into a cold sweat.

I’m not a brain surgeon, but I’ve interviewed several. I have also spoken with cancer patients, and shared their experience and insights for the benefit of others struggling with the disease. I hope you enjoy these samples of my medical writing. (Some articles are under my maiden name, Leslie Rosenberg.)
