Dick Weiss is an award-winning writer and editor with more than three decades of experience at American newspapers. While keeping his day job at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Weiss started WeissWrite LLC in 2003 as a writing, editing and coaching service for anyone with a story to tell. WeissWrite recently has been burgeoning with requests for writing workshops, ghostwriting, and editing consultations. In December, 2005, Weiss left the Post-Dispatch to devote all his energies to WeissWrite.

As a metro editor and writing coach at the Post-Dispatch, Weiss oversaw the development of enterprise stories, with a particular emphasis on narrative writing. He also held training seminars for a newsroom staff of 300 reporters and editors, and coached reporters one-on-one. Several stories Weiss wrote and edited were nominated for Pulitzer Prizes.

Weiss is a frequent speaker at the American Press Institute and was site director for the National Writers’ Workshop in St. Louis from 2001-2004. He recently completed a year-long tour as a speaker for the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism where he showed business writers how to weave their facts and figures into compelling tales.
