JOHN-MANUEL ANDRIOTE

Thanks for visiting me on the Web.

If we don’t yet know each other, an extra thank you . . . and welcome!

WHAT I DO

You’ll find here samples of my writing, photos and videos. There are links to some of my articles, descriptions and reviews of my books, and some of the talks and interviews I’ve given.

WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU

Do you need a skilled communicator―a writer, speaker, and marketer who will help your organization tell its stories to show why your work matters? Please check out my brochure describing my consulting work for national and international organizations, my resume, and a selected list of the government agencies and NGOs with which I’ve worked.

WHAT I THINK

I’ve channeled my urge to opine into my own blog―notes from norwich―after publishing commentaries in the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post and other newspapers, and posting comments all over the place!

Thanks again for your visit. Please come back again . . . soon!

In spring 2010 I was asked to write a seven-part history of my writing career. It was interesting to see the ties between my work and personal lives. It seems like “forward movement.” Read and decide for yourself.

1 - Why I became a writer

2 - Did I choose my specialty--or did it choose me?

3 - Of bread, butter and glory

4 - Victory Deferred

5 - Going global

6 - My news

7 - Life in a northern town

I was deeply touched by the many signs of happy new life in AIDS-afflicted San Francisco, when I was there in April 2010 to do interviews for the new edition of my book Victory Deferred.

I wrote about it in an article for Guide Magazine, and put together a short video tribute to San Francisco’s 20,000 people who have died from AIDS since 1981.
