Brooke Southall

A native Mainer, Brooke founded RIABiz 13 years ago because he wanted to write for an editor demanding articles get past syrupy quotation, satanic jargon and the Wall Street framing of how financial advice gets sold. He spends his days now in California writing, editing and coaching writers. He works in an office, juggles calls across the five time zones and four countries his small team works, and lives on a houseboat. He's out to prove an economics major can make a living as a journalist and that articles need not be a loss leader if they are written well and geared to an intelligent readership.
