Profile Information

Who I am:: Twenty-year teacher of English. Lifelong writer, finally making headway beating the pesky internal virus called "I'm not good enough". I'm writing through the bad days, which I have never been able to do. My hope is that if I remove my attention from the lack, I'll be able to see the abundance.

Connect with me online! My site, blog, or Twitter handle are:: I'm not into social media yet, though I am sure that will ultimately be beneficial. Now, I am trying to focus my writing time on actual writing. I am aware I sound like a dinosaur.

Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to, and any scripts or plays I've authored:: I have mainly worked as an editor and ghostwriter.

Other than being the woman behind the scenes, I have published in some small anthologies and embarrassingly enough, contributed to many Chicken Soup volumes.

Media outlets that I currently write for:: I write for start ups (software and apps), SEO stuff, English curricula, speeches for conferences (mostly political), as well as materials for business folks, professors, lawyers, doctors, (no Indian chiefs) etc. Everyone tells me that I need to stop putting words in everyone else's mouth and focus on executing personal work.

My writing is:: Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, Memoir, Blog Posts

Outlets where I review books, TV, or film:: I don't - but wish I did.

Services I offer to other writers:: I do a lot of editing and ghostwriting for others. I love helping other people shape their work and refine their voices.

I'm part of these writers' groups or salons:: Seeking...

I found out about She Writes from:: online search for YA contests
