About

Claire Brennan Dunn

I’m a writer and editor. I like adventure, and I ask a lot of questions.

My entire career was devoted to writing and editing. I was a journalist for 20 years, then went over the wall into public relations, writing about the extraordinary work done at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry. I have done freelance work for the Adirondack Explorer; CNY Magazine — The Good Life, Central New York; and some private clients. I’m also a hobbyist photographer; my photos have appeared on the ESF website and in numerous college publications, in National Geographic’s Daily Dozen feature, and in all the publications that employed me over the years.

Here are links to some of the work I’ve done in this lifetime of writing and editing:
