About

Ruth headshot.jpg

A distinctive 40-year career successfully informing, motivating and often prompting purposeful personal and organizational action through fact-based health/science news and feature content.

 

Freelance contributor to The New York Times and general consumer and trade media outlets.

 

Like most of us, I am many things - a parent, a daughter, a wife. And always a writer.

 

From the art of telling a Twitter-length story to a blog post or magazine feature, my journalism background always guides the voice in my head.

 

Early in my career I earned a valuable reputation

for translating health and scientific news into compelling, understandable stories that attract the reader from the first line, then hold their attention. 

​

I went on to write and manage content about renewable energy and climate issues. 

​

My first children's book was a joy to write at a time when the world was more upside down than ever.

 

A crazy year - it isn't easy! is the hopeful story of a

9-year-old living through the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic. 

​

Much of my work has been ghostwriting, from blogs and opinion columns to full-length books and even medical textbook chapters.

 

My second children's manuscript is a ghostwritten tale telling an adult's story of how The Accident as a toddler shaped her entire life.

​

During a global pandemic, how do you choose to spend your time? I edited six books, most by previously published authors who wanted an extra set of eyes. â€‹

 

Now, I am excited to have completed the essays and interviews that drive me - changing the conversation around chronic cancer. The Big C² - stories from the chronic side of cancer.

 

I have two adult "boys" living in the NYC area. I wake up most mornings in beautiful Saratoga Springs, New York and commute 18 feet to my office.
