Ann P. Cochran: Writer based in Washington DC

Ann Cochran has written about traveling through the South in a vintage rail car, brain surgery, fine watches, and journeys of faith. She has described too many golf courses in the Mid-Atlantic but will never tire of writing about the fun of adding golf to an Italian itinerary.

Her articles have been published in regional and national magazines, and she was awarded a Washington Writing Prize for personal essay. From her home base just outside Washington, DC, she divides her time between corporate communications and feature writing.

Contact Ann via email or by phone, 301-537-3320 for more information.
