About the Author
Northern Virginia freelance writer Hope Katz Gibbs has been a newspaper and magazine reporter since graduating from the University of Pennsylvania in 1986. After studying for her master’s degree in educational leadership at The George Washington University, she launched her freelance writing business in 1993.
Hope’s articles have appeared in The Washington Post, USA Today, The Miami Herald, dozens of association, business, education and general interest magazines, and many alumni publications including her own alma maters, the University of Pennsylvania and The George Washington University.
She won two awards for feature writing from the Florida Magazine Association, and six other honors for newsletter writing from the National School Public Relations Association. She has been listed in Who’s Who in Media & Communications since 1989, and Who’s Who of American Women since 1993.
In 2008, Hope founded Inkandescent Public Relations, a PR / publications / media relations / marketing firm that helps small businesses get the visibility they need. Along with her award-winning team, she creates high-end marketing materials, writes and edits press releases, newsletters, and white papers, and works closely with reporters to help get the word out about her clients. Hope also co-writes and ghostwrites books, and maintains her clients’ websites so they are up-to-date and provide an accurate, impressive image.
In January 2010, she launched Be Inkandescent magazine — the ezine for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs that each month features the expertise and ideas of dozens of savvy businessmen and women.
On March 8 — International Women’s Day 2010 — she launched the website that will eventually become her first book, 100 Truly Amazing Women Who Are Changing the World — and How You Can, Too! Hope invites every woman with a great story to submit a proposal to become part of the project.
