Southern California's Coastal Cool

Moonlight Beach This is a travel piece I did for the July 2008 issue of Western New York Family Magazine. I thought it would be fun to let East Coast readers know about the wonderful North County coastal cities in the area and some of their less well-known attractions for families. I was happy to spread the word about LEGOLAND California, Quail Gardens, and the California Surf Museum, as well as several other hidden gems.

About Louise

  • Crafting a clean, concise, well-written piece that’s a perfect fit for its audience gets me jazzed; I love talking with people to find out what makes them tick, discovering what’s interesting about every place I go and every person I encounter.

    I deliver clean copy on time and give the same attention to detail to every piece — from 25-word profiles to in-depth features and case studies. I also have an obsession with hunting down and eliminating grammar, punctuation and usage errors and rewording confusing copy.

    I love making editors' jobs easier and giving clients exactly what they need—even if they can’t fully describe what that is just yet.

    Click the "Clips" link for my published work, and check the sidebar for a client list, useful references and links to all the ways to contact me—I'm active on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook, publish a personal blog called Thoughts Happen, and as my daughter will tell you, am on my computer All The Time.
