I am a young writer close to graduating from college with an English degree and currently applying for a masters in fiction writing. I am already contracted with three SEO companies writing both blogs and full sized articles, but I have plenty of time to do more! I have experience in creative writing, blogging, writing articles, key word articles and blogs, link building, proofreading, and am interested in ghost writing as well. Anything else, just ask.

I am Carley, a Gemini, if you know much about Astrology, you know that it is the first zodiac sign to have a symbol with a human, meaning the sign of communication. In other words, I am as social as they come! I get bored easily, like to multi-task and explore the universe by observing all that is around me! I feel as though I have exquisite taste, and love to share it with others! I have befriended many promoters in Lincoln and Omaha, and jumped on the band-wagon of promoting their shows. This means promoting artists, genres of music, venues, clubs, bars, etc….so I have done my homework on all. I have studied and analyzed each venue and the qualities needed to have a successful show. I have observed the crowds of people who are promoted to, and what works for them, what doesn’t. I feel I have a good grasp on the ingredients of a thriving music scene. It takes a lot of work, but is fun to do, especially if you enjoy the music. On the writing side, I have enjoyed writing my entire academic career. An English major at the University was in a close second, right behind Sociology. Despite what degree I obtain, I know I will do something with writing. I’ve always had observances and opinions that I want to share with others, and they seem to flow easily on paper. I was always correcting others’ grammar as a hobby, rather than a chore. I enjoy writing, editing, proof-reading, tutoring, analyzing, observing, etc.

Some work their way in life, to success or decay, by making sense out of anything they can memorize; your memories guide our future, and I am one of those to understand the importance of that! Others ask if their is no mean in memorizing anything or everything like an infinite and human owned database of everything there ever where; wouldn't it be good to have? I think yes, but that it's boring work to accomplish. I love action, passion and purpose, but I do work on the buck! I'm open to suggestions too.
