My passion for writing began when I was a young child. I read and wrote every
chance I got, mostly fiction and poetry. I majored in Literature/Creative Writing in
college. During college I also was married, had two kids, and got divorced.
While I always wrote, pursuing writing professionally did not seem practical as a
single parent. Instead I worked in Customer Service and Office Administration in
a number of areas. Since the mid-nineties I have worked in retail and grocery,
with developmentally disabled adults, at a financial firm, a newspaper circulation
call center, and an online university. I also published a novel, No Sensible
People , and a poetry collection, The Long and Short of It.
Now, with my kids in college, I apply that knowledge, as well as what I learned as
a parent and literary enthusiast to my freelancing. My hobbies (other than
writing) include reading, jewelry making, walking, biking, watching movies, and
listening to music.
Many examples of my work can be found online on websites such as
Gather.com, Associated Content for Yahoo, Epinions, Suite 101, and
EHow.com. I also work frequently with Textbroker.com and Writeraccess.com
and have been learning a lot about copywriting. I am also registered on Odesk,
and hope to expand my Internet reach even more.
