Hello and WELCOME to my freelance page! I'm a detailed oriented, hard working, reliable person looking for freelance work doing what I love - writing! In December of this year, I plan to graduate from Southern New Hampshire University with a degree in Creative Writing and English. I'm currently employed part time as Editor with a local publishing company. I love reading and guiding the work of others. To that end, I've started my own professional writing service, The Butterfly Typeface (WWW.butterflytypeface.com). I'm in the process of writing my first children's book, an adult Christian novel, a screen play and a collection of writings centered around the death of my father the year I turned six. Working in corporate America for 25 years afforded me structure, discipline, and work ethic. I also gained a lot of technical knowledge that translates well into my writing. For example, I'm proficient in WORD, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. I worked from home for several years so I'm also great at time and project management. I'm a blogger, author, editor, children's story writer, and business owner. When I'm not blogging, writing, editing, reading or listening to music I enjoy spending time with the love of my life and our children and grandchildren. Check out my website (includes a current resume and writing samples) and allow me to write/edit for you. Thank you for your time & God bless you!
