Freelance Writer – Leslie J. Thompson

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. Medical writing is no different — it’s all about asking questions, and communicating information in a way that makes sense to the reader.

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.)

I have been writing for the financial services industry for more than 15 years, both as a marketing writer and a journalist. Most recently, I was a regular contributor to Horsesmouth.com and AdvisorMax.com, two of the top online resource centers for financial services professionals. As a journalist, I have also written about the world of financial services for Registered Rep, TICKER, and Multexinvestor.com (now Reuters), among other media outlets. As a copywriter, I have written newsletters and white papers for CFAs and investment advisory firms.

A few of my recent (and less recent) financial articles are posted below. (Some are under my maiden name, Leslie Rosenberg.) I can send newsletter samples upon request.
