About Ed McCarthy

Welcome to my Web site--I hope it provides the information you need. I have worked as a freelance writer since the early 1990s, specializing in finance, business, and technology themes. I spend roughly half my time writing articles for magazines and Web sites; those articles appear under my byline. The rest of my writing consists of copywriting and ghostwriting for financial services firms.

In 2007, I began to expand by starting to write for a local newspaper and country lifestyle magazines. Writing for these publications has allowed me to work as a photojournalist, and I’m actively seeking additional opportunities that combine writing and photography.

Here is a partial list of the clients, magazines, and Web sites with whom I’ve worked. (You can see samples of my work by clicking here.)

  • CFA Magazine

  • Financial Planning

  • HNW Inc.

  • Journal of Accountancy

  • Journal of Financial Planning

  • Living the Country Life

  • Meredith Corporation

  • Modern Maturity

  • Pension Management

  • Rhode Island Monthly

  • Rotarian magazine

  • So Rhode Island

  • TIAA-CREF (Web)

  • Valley Breeze newspaper

  • Wall Street Journal

  • Wealth Manager

I’ve also written two books, both of which are now out-of-print:

  • Fast Forward MBA in Personal Finance (John Wiley & Sons, 1999)

  • The Financial Advisor's Analytical Toolbox (Irwin/McGraw-Hill, 1997)

On a more humble note, I also wrote the first draft of a novel, which still resides somewhere on my computer.
