Leah Ingram’s Summary

You name it, I've written about it--gifts, etiquette, going green, back-to-school shopping, using eBay to shop for prom bargains, business profiles, good causes and more. My clients include national magazines but, increasingly, custom publishing. I've also written special advertising sections for Newsweek and Texas Monthly.

Currently, I blog daily on frugal living at Suddenly Frugal (http://www.suddenlyfrugal.com), which happens to be the name of my newest book: "Suddenly Frugal: How to Live Happier and Healthier on Less." Adams Media will publish that book later this year.

I've also acted as the top editor of magazines--most recently "Street Scenes," the alumni publication for The Bank Street College of Education in New York City.

In addition to my written work, I'm also a seasoned spokesperson and have completed national media tours (TV and radio) for well-known companies and brands. These include (but are not limited to) Game Crazy, Palmolive, Build a Bear Workshop, Starbucks and Jell-O. I've also appeared on television hundreds of times as a lifestyle expert, including on "Good Morning America," "Good Day New York" and CNN, along with programs on the major affiliates in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Here is a link to some of my TV clips: http://suddenlyfrugal.wordpress.com/leah-on-tv/

Eventually, I would like to parlay my on-camera experience into either hosting or acting as an expert on a non-fiction television show.
