I am a ghostwriter, developmental editor, and copywriter living in Los Angeles. I have worked with small presses since 2001, wearing a variety of editorial, public relations, and marketing hats. Mostly, though, I just love to write and to help others writer better.

My first ghosted non-fiction health and science book is now available in stores and online. I can't name it, of course. It is an Amazon Bestseller and has been a Hot New Release in its category.

My poetry and non-fiction writing has appeared in The Rumpus Readers Report Back, NewPages.com, 88: A Journal of Contemporary American Poetry, Solstice, Slipstream, The Houston Chronicle TV blog, Travel Mag UK, and ShelfPleasure.com.

One of my micro essays, a letter to myself at 20, was featured as part of a series covered by NPR's "All Things Considered" and The New York Times (www.CassieBoorn.com).

In 2012, I was a Finalist for the first-ever Stephen Dunn Poetry Prize.

I will be joining a friend's storytelling salon in February 2013.
