Hi. My name is Joan Wilder….As a freelance journalist, I’ve written hundreds of pieces that run the gamut from the hardest of hard news stories—fires, kidnappings, politics—to the most narrative of non-fiction features: travel stories, essays, and profiles. My work has appeared in many magazines and daily newspapers, including the Boston Globe (I wrote for the paper weekly for more than a decade), and the Patriot Ledger, where I was a regular contributor with a beat for many years. I wrote The Dish, a food column for Boston.com and reviewed hundreds of Boston-area restaurants for  regional sections of the Boston Globe for many years (until the pandemic put an end to that). I’ve ghostwritten books and authored many other types of pieces: grants, press releases, book proposals, corporate newsletters, website copy, reference book histories, and narrative biographies. I’m  the author of the (tiny) book Help for Women with ADHD: My Simple Strategies for Conquering Chaos and More Help for Women with ADHD: Curbing Chaos, Claiming our Assets, and Calming the Critical Self.
