About Me

Profile Type: Individual
Year Founded: 1996
Number of Employees: 1
I began writing at the age of seven, when I focused on the art of poetry, twenty-seven years later I am still writing. Yet, I have broadened my range from poetry to other forms including; Press Releases, creative writing, copy writing, ads, op-editorials, nonfiction articles, interview pieces, short stories, screenplays, writing for television and business filings.

I attended Owens Community College, earning an Associate in the Arts. For the past seven years I have focused on writing as a freelancer and a screenwriter. I have completed four screenplays and am currently completing a novel project.

I take pleasure in breaking off for other projects, small or large, which helps to get my creative energy charged. I have written and sold numerous articles, short stories, press releases, ad copy, web content and interview pieces, with subject matters ranging from education in America to Astrology.

I am empathetic and passionate about volunteering and serving. I have been an inspirational speaker for five years with the Toledo chapter of the YWCA. I have also volunteered for a number of other local and national organizations whose mission I believe in.

I have earned awards in a diverse array including; Volunteer awards, Speaking awards, and screenplay writing awards, various writing awards, as well as my proudest, Mother of the Year award.

Please feel free to contact me for questions. Thank you for your interest and for taking the time to learn more about me.

Have a wonderfully productive day!

Payment Terms

I am open to payment/business terms that are most convenient for the buyer, unless the scope of the project is extensive in time and service then I do ask for 1/3 upfront.

Detailed Service Description

I am hands-on, unless otherwise indicated, with your company's content, and professional needs. I am detail oriented and work great in a team or with little supervision. Research is an essential responsibility; with each piece I write or for every assistant job I perform I instill hours/days of research on behalf of my superior.

I will work with your company on every aspect of the project and will guarantee the writing and the finished product depicts your company's highest expectations or I will revise until completely satisfied. Revisions are completely free, I write until the client is utterly satisfied with my work.

My passion for the written word has propelled me to implement various writing genres that have been sold and/or have been published or produced including: press releases, creative writing, copy writing, ads, op editorials, nonfiction articles, interview pieces, short stories, screenplays, writings for television, white papers, research pieces, SEO articles and business pieces.

I attend a number of workshops, seminars and educational sessions annually for the writing/publishing industry to update and enhance my skills. With eight years of knowledge and yearly seminars, I would be pleased to write for you and your company.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
