FEATURE WRITING An experienced freelance writer, I strive to develop interesting and thought-provoking articles on everything from interior design to solar power to childhood cancer. I put professionalism and enthusiasm into every assignment I accept. I pride myself on meeting deadlines and getting it right the first time. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of interviewing dozens of fascinating people -- from national celebrities to policy makers, major league ball players to hometown heroes -- all to help tell each of their stories accurately and passionately.  I also enjoy writing essays and blogs based on my unique life experiences, observations and lessons learned. Just some of the general topics I've written about recently include: Health Care and Medicine Children and Parenting Issues Education and Life Experiences  Business Consulting and Financial Management Home Construction and Interior Design Travel, Destinations and Weddings Environmental Stewardship and Alternative Energy Sources  Assorted Business and Community Leadership Profiles It's pretty safe to say I know a little about a lot of things. However, by no means do I consider myself an expert in any one area. In fact, I often write from no prior knowledge at all (gasp!). That's why I conduct extensive research and expert interviews to make sure I fully understand the product, topic or issue before I write my first word.

STRAIGHT FROM OUR CLIENTS...   "Over the past year, I have had the pleasure of working with Lynn Machon in her role as contributing writer to Serrano Magazine in the Sacramento market of Northern California. Lynn has consistently delivered fresh story ideas, a creative writing style, solid research, and timely execution to her assignments.  It became evident early in our work together that we could count on her for meeting deadlines, coordinating art and bringing a complete package to a story. As editor, she made my job much simpler, knowing that rewrites on her copy were not going to add to my work load.  In addition, her contributions on headline writing, captions, etc. have been most welcomed. You have my assurance that Lynn has the chops, depth and resolve to contribute to your projects and programs." Don Olson, Editor Strategy Custom Publishing "I cannot say enough good things about Lynn -- we've been lucky enough to work with her for more than 5 years. She's been one of our main go to contributors for all of our publications such as Real Weddings Magazine, Style Magazine and Family Health & Wellness Magazine, as well as our custom publishing publications such as the Folsom Chamber of Commerce Directory and the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce Directory. Not only is she an exceptional writer, she's a thorough investigator -- she fully develops stories, researches them extensively, and turns in pieces that are exactly what we're wanting. And, the icing on the cake is that she hits her deadline. In short -- we love Lynn!" Wendy Sipple, Publisher Style Media Group
