Currently, I am a General Manager for four Subways in Rochester, NY and spend over 40 hours a week overseeing operations. Writing has always been a passion of mine, so I have constantly kept up with it on the side. I did two years of newspaper editing and two years after that of yearbook designing and editing in high school. Since high school graduation, slightly over four years now, I have been a freelance writer contracted through The Content Authority.

i have never done freelance writing before, i have always enjoyed english, writing, and reading. i am 30 years old and i have been writing since i can remember. i have written roughly 4 books already in mylife. i can write stories or articles. that is not a problem. my personal writing is what i consider to be raw thought. i write for my own personal release. sometimes i use first person, mostly though i sorta blind write and my hand just sorta goes with what my subconcious is needing out at the time. i have no problem with correct puncutation and using full sentences. even though i am not exercising that skill at the moment. i do have the ability. Also i do know the correct paragraph form. not using it now... but i have never been good at resumes or describing myself. so i am just writing sorta blindly what i feel you may want to know about me and my qualifications. i love to write it is a passion a must in my life i am open to anything it is that i am offered to write. i am a sponge for knowledge and love researching just about anything.

I'm currently searching for freelance illustration work, preferably for childrens books or character design related projects and am available to begin asap and can meet deadlines and work well under pressure. Although I reside in Greater London, travelling is not an issue given sufficient notice however using skype or other media to sit in on meetings and briefs is ok as well and can be an acceptable way of saving on costs. I'm hoping to work with other creative people to produce high quality and imaginative work.
