Dawn Weinberger, Freelance Writer

Professional. Reliable. Resourceful.

Whether it's a very big, complicated story or a short, colorful piece needed in a hurry, Dawn comes through with thorough, spot-on reporting and clear, well-written and organized stories. She did a masterful job on a cover article for our regional trade magazine and made a rather technical subject approachable. She has become my go-to writer in Portland.
