Wendy Ducharme

If an aspiring journalist were to ask Wendy for career advice, she would likely implore them not to attempt to launch a career in D.C. during a recession. If that suggestion seems overly specific, it’s because that is precisely how she started out. When jobs in journalism were tight, she pivoted to become a copywriter and PR specialist at a D.C. agency. When life brought her to New Hampshire, she operated a small PR firm before focusing on writing as she raised her two children.

Since then, she has written for all types of clients about a mind-boggling array of topics. She has retained a journalist’s curiosity and relishes learning about new topics and writing about them in various forms. The result is an eclectic array of knowledge (which she says should result in champion trivia contest skills but does not), as well as a proven mastery in translating complex topics for the layperson and distilling information to yield actionable insights.
