Alan's writing was web-ready, very little editing needed. Explained the concept clearly, used several voices and sources. Great to work with.

I've covered every level of government -- the presidency for NPR, Congress for Congressional Quarterly and states, cities and counties for Governing. Over the years, I've contributed to The New York Times, the Washington Post, The New Republic, Politico and numerous other publications. Turning complex policy questions into readable prose has long been my specialty, mainly for news outlets but also occasional corporate and nonprofit clients. I'm coauthor of a textbook on state and local government that's now in its seventh edition.
