Summary

I'm available to provide your writing needs in a professional and timely manner. My writing experience is varied and extensive, and I take pride in doing the job right. Be sure to check my feedback ratings and scores on tested skills to see if I might be the right provider for you.

I completed my M.A. in counseling psychology and worked in mental health before turning my attention to writing full time. I have extensive experience as a writer, ghostwriter, editor, and proofreader.

I am the author of two books: a novel, "Tomato Girl," published by Algonquin Books in 2008 and a book of poems.

My short fiction and poetry have appeared in numerous literary journals and anthologies. I have received multiple Pushcart Prize nominations.

In a review of "Tomato Girl," the Library Journal wrote: "Pupek's debut is a wrenching, stunning, and pitch-perfect novel that captures the best of Southern literature's finest storytelling colors. Highly recommended."
