About Kathleen Hager

JOURNALIST | WRITER | EDITOR | BELIEVER IN THE FREE PRESS | With more than 10 years of experience creating, refining and managing content, I operate with a meticulous eye and am driven by the “impossible” goal of perfection. In each new editorial environment, I quickly adapt to the preferred style, master it and enforce it. As a writer, my skills translate across subjects, genres and media. From hard news headlines and blogs on entertainment, fashion, health and other topics, to witty magazine articles and corporate communications, I can skillfully convey any message in any style.
