About Sarah
Before I answer any questions, thank you. For reading. So much. I can’t help writing – some people have a nervous twitch, I write – but you being here reading it is a thrill. For serious.
Who am I? The short version, work edition.
I am a writer. I’ve done everything from public relations to social-media punditry to employee communications to ghostwriting. See also Blog 101 (2005), Twitter: The Primer (series, 2008), Going Tribal (2010) and The Matt Hall Questions (series, 2010). For my current CV, see LinkedIn.
Who am I? The short version, nonwork edition. Bubbly introvert. Reformed nomad. Surprise athlete. Compulsive organizer. Bookworm. Baker. Artist. Blessed. See also Ten Things (2006), Desperate for Content… (2007), Stripping, Science and Other Fallback Careers (2008), Facebook to Blog to New York Times (2009), I Love Geeks (2010), Depression: Nothing to Get Depressed About (2011).
What’s with the categories? I’ve been here since 2002, talking about whatever crossed my mind, but in 2011, I finally noticed that that I tend to focus on these topics. There’s other important stuff in the world, but this is what I get chatty about.
What’s with “Mistaken Identity”? Ever since I got an easy-to-remember address for once, I get email for other Sarah Morgans. Lots of it. I could get annoyed, I could try to find a live person at Google, or I could shamelessly mine it for content. I tried the first two. The third is more fun.
You know some of the words you use aren’t real, right? I make up words. You should too.
Don’t you work in the pharmaceutical industry? Yes, but you won’t find pharma-specific content here. I like that it helps clarify that what I say here is mine and no one else’s.
So what do you do, anyway? Let’s go third-person with my bio:
Sarah Morgan has been a writer in, with and for the top pharmaceutical companies in the world since 1997.
Her master’s thesis, on how social media is changing language, was conducted under noted media ecologist Dr. Paul Levinson for a degree from Fordham University‘s School of Public Communications.
She has lectured to professional and academic audiences along the East Coast about social media and its implications for the healthcare industry.
Her specialties include employee communications, ghostwriting, advocacy relations and product public relations.
Sarah blogs at sarah-morgan.com; tweets at twitter.com/sarahmorgan; and appears professionally at linkedin.com/in/sarahmorgan, informally at facebook.com/sarah.anita.morgan, and in real life in glorious north-western New Jersey.
Says who? Here’s what a few people have called me. These are words I measure myself against every day.
- “One of the best students I have had in my 30+ years of teaching” – Paul Levinson, Fordham University Graduate School
- “Among the first pharma social media troublemakers” – Steve Woodruff, Connection Agent
- “The kind of PR professional every marketer dreams of working with… she’s a top-notch writer whose prose is clear, concise and compelling” – Sven Larsen, Zemoga
- “As we say in French, she is able to rise ‘au-dessus de la mélée’ to be able to make wise strategic decisions” – Louis DeLage, theheart.org
