Writing

Jour­nal­ism

As a writer at South­ern Cal­i­for­nia news­pa­pers and mag­a­zines, I’ve seen fam­i­lies grap­pling with crises and find­ing strength in love. I’ve met hope­ful cou­ples push­ing hard to open busi­nesses in their liv­ing rooms. I’ve watched singers and actors share with audi­ences their most urgent dis­cov­er­ies about what it feels like to be human. And I get great sat­is­fac­tion from shar­ing all that with readers.

Copy­writ­ing

As a copy­writer, I have lately been work­ing with clients focused on cre­at­ing Web sites for cer­tain aspects of the health-care indus­try. With a broad base of knowl­edge and the inquis­i­tive nature to find out what I don’t yet know, I can con­tribute intel­li­gently to your writ­ten mar­ket­ing efforts. Please con­tact me for exam­ples of this work.

Tes­ti­mo­nial

Richard Block has no dif­fi­culty grasp­ing and deal­ing with sto­ries that present mul­ti­ple angles and per­spec­tives  … His han­dling of the pub­lic is extremely impres­sive. He is diplo­matic and sym­pa­thetic, while at the same time he main­tains con­trol of the inter­view and keeps his source on track. Richard is a pro­fes­sional jour­nal­ist and a valu­able asset to the Champion.
