Jill Sherer Murray, president of Streetcar Communications, Inc., is an award-winning journalist, freelance writer, marketer, corporate communicator, consultant, and blogger. She uses her higher education and 20 years of professional experience in publishing and communications to service a wide range of clients and projects.

Over the years, her work has appeared in a variety of business, health, trade, and consumer media, as well as conference rooms and call centers—from print to online, for-profit to non-profit, technical to creative.

In addition to writing feature articles, scripts, books, brochures, presentations, web content, and other marketing, corporate, educational, and creative communications, Sherer Murray designs and facilitates writing workshops.

She teaches employees the elements of good writing—and lessens the burdensome cost (recently estimated to be as high as $3 billion, by the Wall Street Journal and other sources) of poor writing on companies.

Prior to her work as a freelancer, Sherer Murray held a variety of roles including:

Marketing manager for The Gatorade Company.
Internal communications director for Hewitt Associates.
Founder and president of an outsourcing agency for writers.
Staff reporter for magazines like Advertising Age, Crain’s Chicago Business, and Hospitals (the flagship publication of the American Hospital Publishing).

Also, a former “Weight Loss Diary” columnist for Shape Magazine, she took six million readers on her public journey to get fit through a year-long series of personal essays and live online chats.

Currently, Sherer Murray is working on her second book (her first is with an agent) and a popular web-log called the “Diary of a Writer in Mid-Life Crisis” as featured on www.wildriverreview.com.

She holds a Master of Science degree in Communications from Boston University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism from Temple University in Philadelphia.

She lives in Doylestown, Pennsylvania, with her husband Dan, her rescue dogs Winnie and Elvis, too many houseguests, and a lot of chocolate. You can reach her at streetcarcomm@aol.com.
