 History, Conservation, Exploring Wild Places

 A. Marlowe Conrad's Field Notes:


It always starts with a question that won't let me go.


Why did they name that town Cuckoo? What is a Galvanized Yankee and how did my long lost relative become one? What was Walt Disney doing in a Florida tower the day JFK was shot?


The stories that time left behind are the ones that move me most,  whether those stories are  hiding in a crumbling courthouse, old newspaper, on a stretch of river the Army Corps tried to bury, or in a fish camp that disappeared under a strip mall.


History is my obsession, the outdoors is my home, and Field Notes is where I bring them together.


If you love real places with surprising people and pasts, you're in exactly the right spot.

  • Technology Writer Testimonial - Carol Everett Oliver - CEO Communications

    I had hired Anne to take over some of my clients' articles as I was preparing to retire after 30 years as a seasoned marketing professional in the telecommunications industry for my consulting firm, CEO Communications. She quickly immersed herself in both the electrical and low-voltage industries. 


    Anne has the exceptional ability to take complex topics—particularly in networking infrastructure—and write about them with clarity, precision, and creativity. Her deep research skills ensure every article is both accurate and insightful, and her writing always reflects a keen understanding of the target audience.


    What sets Anne apart is her attention to detail combining her talent for balancing technical depth with engaging narrative. Each piece she produces not only informs, but she can take a wide variety of technical topics, and make them interesting reads - from product specs to evolving marketing trends. This has made Anne one of the most skilled and versatile technical writers.


    I've had the pleasure of working with Anne as a freelance writer for our distributor and contractor communications, and I can't recommend her highly enough.  She consistently delivers high-quality, engaging content tailored to two very distinct audiences: the Leviton Insider, which serves our distributor network, and the Contractor Connect newsletter, focused on professional contractors.

She one of the most thoughtful, caring and loyal friends that anyone can ask for. I appreciate her friendship and always value her advice.


    On a professional level - Anne has written for American Outdoor News since the day that I started the publication. Her articles are always well researched and very well written. Her creativity never ceases to amaze me. I know that when I am overwhelmed with my day to day, I can always count on Anne to lend me a hand. She adds value to any team the day that she walks through the door. I hold Anne in the highest regard professionally as well as a very close friend and advisor.
