Deborah L. Cohen, Independent Writer & Editor 

Welcome. I'm Deborah Cohen, a veteran business reporter with a knack for writing financial stories that cross over into the areas of general interest, law, science and health.

I write a weekly column about small business for Reuters.com and provide monthly coverage on the issues facing small law firms and solo attorneys for the American Bar Association's ABA Journal.

I have contributed to Business Week's Chicago edition, Smart Money,  Indianapolis Monthly, QSR, Forward, Bloomberg magazine and the alumni publications for the University of Illinois-Chicago and the Kellogg School of Management, among others.

Before striking out on my own in late 2007, I held staff positions with Reuters, Crain’s Chicago Business, Bloomberg News and the Post-Tribune in Gary, Ind., covering beats ranging from labor unions to fast food, advertising and telecommunications. 

"Over the course of several days, she cheerfully worked through the evenings to deliver a series of drafts that culminated in one of this magazine's best long-form cover pieces in ages."
Daniel Comiskey, associate editor, Indianapolis Monthly magazine

"Her business acumen is peerless. You can depend on her to go that extra step, and turn in a bright, enjoyable and intelligent story."
Richard Brust, assistant managing editor, ABA Journal
