I have written and produced newsletters, brochures, and PowerPoint presentations describing the benefits of particular technologies, as well as presentation folders to introduce potential clients to a new company.

Each brochure in this series features one aspect of EPRI's nuclear power program, such as fuel management, maintenance, and plant safety. They are intended to help promote interest in, and financial support for, such programs among nuclear plant owners and operators around the world.

 

 

 

This project comprised a presentation folder and four-page brochures on specific renewable energy technologies. The intended audience included the general public, energy policy makers, and industry professionals. In addition to writing and editing copy, I also managed the project, including hiring and working with a graphic designer, bidding out the print job, and communicating with the client to get the work done to their specifications and on time.

 

Separate brochures addressed photovoltaics, wind, biomass, hydropower, and geothermal power.
