Below is a few short paragraphs about me and who I am. I believe that
persons personality is part of what you hire, so this is my way of
introducing myself as a person since all you know about me so far is
that I am a fabulous writer.
Growing up I was an avid reader which, fortunately or unfortunately,
grew out of a punishment from my mother. Ever the creative parent
she would make me read and give her a book report whenever my
teacher complained that I was too chatty in class. This was often
enough to get me into the habit of reading and progressed into a
hobby. While most of my friends were reading the Sweet Valley High
series I was reading Dean Koontz novels. I spent so much of my life
reading Dean that by the time I was accepted into a Creative Writing
program I was told by my counselor to stop reading his novels. She
explained that Dean would be a bad influence on me and that while my
poor professors where trying to educate me and teach me to use my
own voice in my writing, she was sure Dean would stick his nose in
once in a while and mix things up more than necessary. In other
words, he would be a bad influence on me.
While pursuing my Bachelor's of Arts I became a staff writer for
Surfside Hockey News, I was a guest writer for The Highlander (the
university paper) and I frequently write copy for a few of the clubs and
other organizations. Since I couldn't read my favorite novels anymore I
figured I'd get a jump start on my career. What else was I to do in
college?
As a student in the Creative Writing program I was taught by authors
such as Judy Kronenfeld, Gary Soto, Derek McKown, Dwight Yates and
Susan Straight. By the summer of 2002 I graduated from the University
of California Riverside with a Bachelor's of Arts in Creative Writing.
Insert proud mother smiling here.
Now, I am a brilliant writer who can create anything you need for any
purpose you need. My work is my proof. The samples page
demonstrates some of my eclectic experience. I have taken contract
positions for large companies such as Airgas Rutland Tool (now
Rutland Tool) and the online version of the Yellowpages along with
taking smaller projects from online magazines, small businesses and
individual people. As my samples page shows, I have done anything
and everything when it came to gaining writing and editing experience.
The most important thing I have learned is to listen to my client to
determine what they want while at the same time giving them my
professional input. Nothing’s uglier than a pushy writer trying to do it
their own way. Feel free to browse my site and contact me with your
thoughts and questions. Even if you don’t have a project under way
and you just want to introduce yourself please do so.
