Biography
I write about business, health care, community, and the arts. (A good deal of my work has been published without byline. Please feel free to ask for links or additional writing samples.) Under my own name I’ve published fiction, book reviews, and features. As a ghostwriter I’ve reviewed business books about the changing nature of work; interviewed Twitter co-founder Biz Stone; summarized medical studies about the dangers of sitting (very real) and of cholesterol (not so much); written a paranormal romance novella (she-cats & werewolves); created taglines and menu descriptions for a new restaurant. I have edited and critiqued fiction and nonfiction manuscripts; crafted grant proposals for a community nonprofit arts initiative; and helped high school students write a book. I believe that stories transform lives and organizations; that syntax matters, and is not a question of rules but of good design; that the Oxford comma mostly makes sense; that Orwell was mostly right; that Ayn Rand was mostly wrong.

Research led by UC Riverside bioengineers may help stop that cycle. The team has just found a way to block one strain of the influenza virus from accessing a human protein it needs to replicate in cells.
By Scott Doyle Verified, Mary Ann Cherry, Robert Reich, Scott Doylejust now| LA Progressive Verified In February of 2017, a little over a month after Trump was inaugurated, Romulo Avelica-Gonzalez—an undocumented immigrant who had been living in the U.S. for 25 years—was arrested by ICE agents just a few blocks from where I was living in Highland Park. He was dropping his daughters off at school, and one of them captured the arrest on her cell phone.
By Scott Doyle Verified| LA Progressive Verified In 2017, the City and County of Los Angeles began a pilot program to provide legal representation to immigrant Angelenos facing detention & deportation. For the past two years—in the middle of a pandemic, and with the Biden Administration continuing many of Trump’s hurtful policies—the program has been in limbo. In July of last year, the County Board of Supervisors voted to make the legal defense program permanent & universal, with no exclusions.
