John Paterna, Writer

Even the best analytic ideas would never reach the ground without the gravitational pull of a skilled writer. Enter John. I’m struck by his ability to “write in the trenches,” to capture information as it whizzes by and shape it into a compelling document. He describes it as a grant writer’s survival skill, one he learned on the road to crafting over $12 million in grants for public television, health and education. The scope of John’s writing is wide-ranging. He produces marketing pieces for pharmaceutical and technology companies; newsletters and reports for corporations; and articles for school districts.

John claims that his mentor was a high school English teacher who told him he had a flair for writing. Later he searched for the writing muse through the hallowed halls of Kean, Montclair State, Rutgers, Columbia and the New School. When he caught up with his muse in the trenches, he began writing seriously and has been at it ever since.
