I am a 20 something female who is living and working in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I am a creative mind and an active soul. I have several years of experience writing, most of this has been unpublished but I have a few minor publications (mostly local/school) and am working to publishing myself with in a few years. I have the drive to go further. I tend to be a creative fiction writer but have experience with non fiction, research papers, romance/*******, blog, script writing, biographical among others. I have some minor ghost writing experience under my pen as well and would prefer to gain more. I will be posting some of my work in the portfolio. I am also creative with a camera - photography and photo editing, you can see some examples on my photo blog posted in the portfolio. Full resume, examples of work and references are available. I sincerely look forward to working with you.
