Hello! I'm Tripp, a four-time author, veteran journalist and communications consultant with more than 30 years of professional writing and editing experience based in New York City.

My most recent book, a critically acclaimed biography of television legend Norman Lear (Bloomsbury, 2024), was praised by "Publishers Weekly" as a "lovingly detailed portrait and hailed by "The Chicago Tribune" as a "meticulous account of Lear's life." As a journalist specializing in entertainment, business, personal finance, entrepreneurship and real estate, I have written hundreds of bylined articles for such wide-ranging publications as "The New York Times," "The Wall Street Journal," "Vanity Fair," "Variety," "The Hollywood Reporter," "Forbes," "TV Guide," "The Saturday Evening Post," "Crain's New York Business," "Emmy" magazine and many others.

In addition to my journalism career, I have worked as a copywriter and communications strategist for Fortune 500 companies, startups, entrepreneurs and C-suite executives across a wide range of industries. Whether crafting articles, speeches, marketing materials, thought leadership pieces or personal narratives, I help clients discover their unique voice and communicate with clarity, confidence and impact.

I also bring extensive teaching and mentoring experience. For more than five years, I have served as an adjunct professor at Emerson College in Boston, my alma mater, where I am currently completing my MFA in Creative Writing,

Whether you're a high school student working on a college essay, a college student refining an academic paper, or a professional seeking help with a writing project, including books, white papers, speeches, thought leadership pieces, original web content and more, I offer thoughtful, personalized guidance designed to help you harness your unique voice effectively and put your best words on the page.

Creative Writing

After a successful career as a four-time author, widely published journalist, and communications copywriter, I found that I love helping young writers discover their authentic voice. For more than five years, I have taught as an adjunct professor at Emerson College in Boston, where I am also currently pursuing an MFA in creative writing. As a writing coach, I support students through every stage of the college essay process, from choosing meaningful topics to refining honest, thoughtful final drafts. I offer personalized feedback and practical guidance to help them write essays that are engaging, memorable, and truly their own. Above all, I want students to feel confident in their writing and proud of the stories they tell regardless of the subject.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

Drawing on decades of experience as a published author, journalist, communications professional and educator, I work one-on-one with students to craft and develop admissions essays and research papers that are thoughtful, authentic, and memorable. Whether you're starting with a blank page or polishing a nearly finished draft, I provide individualized guidance throughout the process, from brainstorming ideas and identifying themes to strengthening structure, clarity, and voice.
