When you want your audience to listen, you have to give them a reason. Erika Napoletano has been found and written those reasons since 2007 -- colloquial, concise, and captivating are her daily writing mantras. Her work ranges from business and marketing topics to those in gender, health, consumer medicine, real estate, and personal finance. As a freelance writer with over seven years of experience, you can find her work on American Express OPEN Forum, Entrepreneur Magazine, Chicago Health Magazine, Trulia, PNC CFO, Yesware, Payment Week and more. As a formerly licensed financial professional (Series 7, 66, 31 and life/health producer), she's at home with compliance-sensitive topics and can make even the most tedious subjects sing. She's also the award-winning author of two books and lives in Glendale, CA.
