In 2007, she published Creatively Self-Employed: How Writers and Artists Deal with Career Ups and Downs. The book has been featured on Entrepreneur Magazine Radio and Women's Radio, and has been spotlighted in Create Magazine, 2D Magazine, the New Jersey Star-Ledger, and the Asbury Park Press.

She is an apt writer of human-interest features, and has a fond appreciation for the genre of creative nonfiction. Notably, she has handled press and public relations for artist Sabrina Ward Harrison.
