“Sandra Swanson is at the top of my Rolodex. She’s a first-rate writer who reports accurately.”

“Sandra Swanson is one of those freelance writers whose work rarely needs even a nip or tuck. She perfectly balances the facts with humor and wit.”

“Would that I could clone her into a freelance army, I would do it in a heartbeat.”

                              


Those quotes on the left didn't spring from my imagination (fertile as it may be). They're the comments of editors who've worked with me (find out what else they said, and who said it). 

For more than a decade, I've brought clarity to complex topics, writing for dozens of publications including:

Better Homes and Gardens
BrainWork

Chicago Magazine
Chicago Sun-Times
Chicago Tribune
Crain's Chicago Business
InformationWeek
LifetimeTV.com
PM Network
The Rotarian
Satisfaction (a Tribune Co. publication)
SciFi.com
Technology Review's MIT News
ThisOldHouse.com
UIC Alumni Magazine


As a full-time freelance writer (and previously as a staff writer for publications such as InformationWeek), I'm committed to delivering clean, engaging copy.

Subjects I've covered run the gamut, from robotics to Rick Springfield. Some of my specialties include technology, business, health, and science (I'm a member of NASW, the National Association of Science Writers).
