I started my writing career in magazines after graduating from Vega, when I went to work for a new Lifestyle, Travel, Fashion and Music Magazine called FUNK, as the Features Editor. I was then promoted to the Editor after a few months and, in that time, gained plenty of proofing, writing and editing experience. Since leaving FUNK I have moved down to Cape Town and been involved in several freelance projects (I also did a 5 month internship at Marie Claire Magazine where I wrote for the fashion section of their website). I know work as a freelance writer and in particular- a music reviewer for several websites.

I’m Steve Combs, I earned a paralegal degree and a general education degree from Ivy Tech Community College in 2007. I learned how to research while attending Ivy Tech and wrote several research papers and include the sources according to how the paper was to be writen. I learned how to format according to instruction, and follow directions for including quotations. To further my legal education I purchased the same criminal law books used at Indiana University that are used to teach students in law school there, and read them. In an effort to apply the broad federal law theory I learned to specific laws I read the entire Indiana State Criminal Code and familiarized myself with Indiana Law. I have written a couple of unpublished novels. One is a fantasy, crime novel and the other is a science fiction, fantasy novel. I started writing screenplays about a year ago and have completed two of them. I have read three books on how to write screenplays and applied the formatting techniques from the book, “ The Screenwriter’s Bible”. Return of the Good King is a science fiction screenplay with an alternate medieval world, the protagonists are a Lawyer from Indiana, and three mutated test subjects that were raised in a lab in Indiana. They Are One is a science fiction screenplay that takes place mostly in the Hawaiian Islands. An ancient parasite is released from a coral reef and the hosts of the parasite are linked to one another in a psychological manner, they are able to manipulate sea life and humans alike. In the screenplay a divorced couple finds the love they lost during an action packed adventure and they reunite their torn family. I have also done a great deal of factory work that requires learning processes and following them. I can describe in detail how to do tasks one step at time and increase your work productivity.

I have a very strong interest in Art and its origin; Drawing has been a passion since young age. I usually draw portraits which are my favorite activity and try to improve every day. I have been learning Graphic Design recently at Center for Digital Imaging Arts (Washington, DC) and would love to translate my work into it a little more, meeting Designers and learn some more while working as a team. I am a fast learner and I am looking forward to apply my creativity in the professional world. I also speak French fluently and will be glad to help in this field too.
