Tracy Ivie has more than 15 years experience writing for corporations, magazines, books and newspapers. A team player who works well under pressure, she brings a fresh approach to every job and enjoys the challenge of capturing a company's essence in print. Originally trained as a journalist, she went on to write for corporate clients in numerous areas, including health care, business, education and the arts. Among her marketing credits are a mini-annual report for W.R. Grace to recruit MBAs; a sales flier for Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical and a script on mammography for Siemens AG. Ivie recently put the finishing touches on two projects that debuted in January. She was editor of a special health and wellness issue for New Jersey Savvy Living magazine, where she supervised freelance writers and wrote the cover story. As a copywriter for a new guidebook series, meanwhile, her assignment was to write "fun" histories of New Jersey towns. Ivie worked for seven years at the Hunterdon County Democrat newspaper, where she served as the arts, education, and county government editor. She was also editor of the Hunterdon Observer and won several awards from the New Jersey Press Association. Her magazine credits include Working Woman, Popular Photography and Video, where she was a contributing editor. Prior to that Ivie traveled around the country as co-author in the book series, "Country Inns of America," published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston, and Architectural Digest.
