ABOUT ME

KOSTAKIS PHOTO 2022

 Remember what was said to Melanie Griffith in Working Girl?

“You’ve got a real fire in your belly.”

A crackerjack writer, a prolific and exuberant innovator and the consummate content specialist seeks Staff  (full-time, part-time) and Freelance/Contract journalist positions.

My loquacious nature and lifelong love of performing may have led to my subsequent training for a broadcast career, but it’s my distinctive voice and style, with its conversational and highly descriptive tone, that helped me to find my feet in written media.

It’s my love of words and telling compelling tales that has produced a vast body of work, including features, news, film reviews, opinion, columns, and commentary. My areas of expertise and interest include arts and entertainment, lifestyle, food and dining, health and wellness, beauty, and e-commerce.  Outside of journalistic pursuits, I have also created content and concepts for marketing and advertising campaigns, product descriptions, social media posts, and on-hold telephone messaging scripts.  I am adept at composing for a range of target audiences and multiple media, so my talents lie equally in both long and short form. Naturally, all of my work adheres to strict editorial standards, applying my knowledge of Associated Press and Chicago Styles.

Publications I’ve written for include Turner Classic Movies, Paste Magazine, Well + Good, Patch, Gannett, Time Out Boston, Film Inquiry, and YourTango.

Without a doubt, I have that fire in my belly and a passion for storytelling that goes beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. Pouring my heart and soul into everything that I write and create gives you quality work everyone can be proud of!

Thank you for your interest!
