Greg Rosenthal has been battling gobbledygook for more than 15 years as a government communications professional and freelance writer/editor. Every workday, he uses the tactics in the Tactical Writing Guide to craft concise and compelling articles, speeches, web content, outreach publications, and blog posts. He loves to share these techniques with others. In fact, the Baltimore Sun featured him in a 2013 article on plain language in government. Rosenthal also runs a freelance writing and editing service called The Plain Language Factory, LLC, and produces writing videos for his Tactical Writing Academy YouTube channel. In his free time, he hikes, travels, reads, and plays board games with family and friends. He earned a B.A. in hearing and speech sciences from the University of Maryland at College Park, and a B.A. in communication studies from the University of Maryland University College. Rosenthal is also a Gulf War veteran, who served as an airlift flight engineer in the U.S. Air Force Reserve.
