Whether you're surfing to learn more about me, pick up some
writer tips, or just browse, I thank you for doing so.
I love the Internet, which has proven a key to
my freelance success. Indeed, the Internet proved instrumental in my
ability to secure two book deals.
I am the author of "A Student's
Guide to Toni Morrison," and
"I Want to Talk
With My Teen About
Money Management." I also contributed a chapter on money and
finances to "Our Voices: Issues Facing Black Women in America," which
released in October 2009.
A member of Advanced Writers
and Speakers Association, Association of
Writers & Writing Programs,
Evangelical Press Association, and
Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators,
I am actively pursuing additional opportunities to write nonfiction books
and other material for children.
More about me: I am an internationally published,
award-winning freelance
publisher/editor and nonfiction writer. My
career
began in corporate communications and included publications management (from
issue planning to production, including staff oversight and vendor
management), and marketing communications. My background also includes
publicity, TV and radio interviewing, and some ghostwriting.
On the mentoring
front, I serve as a writing mentor with the
Jerry B. Jenkins Christian Writers Guild.
Aspiring Christian writers: I encourage you to check out this valuable
resource and to request your free "Starter
Kit." Also consider attending the Guild's annual "Writing
for the Soul" conference.
On the
e-publishing front, I'm the
publisher/editor of
SPIRIT-LED
WRITER, which is on hiatus. I'm thrilled to announce that an
article in
Spiritual Writing (December 2005), a special Writer's Digest
publication, mentioned SPIRIT-LED WRITER
as a website worth visiting. Moreover, Writer's Digest magazine named SPIRIT-LED WRITER
a "Best Web
Site for Writers"
for 2004. Only 101 sites are chosen for this prestigious
award/designation. SPIRIT-LED WRITER
also received the honor in 2003.
On the speaking front, I
speak
at conferences, retreats, schools and other events.
Editors, Project Managers and Book Packagers: Yes, I'm available for book and/or article
assignments. My success writing
for multiple markets -- general and religious; U.S. and international;
youth, women, parenting, ministerial, and professional -- proves that
I can effectively handle a cross-section of assignments.
If you're looking for a
nonfiction professional, I can help. I would love to hear from you, and
discuss how I may prove a valuable member of your freelance team.
Please
e-mail me to discuss your needs.
Meeting planners, conference directors and teachers: Please
e-mail me to discuss your needs. Churches,
and spiritual retreat planners, please
e-mail
regarding my speaking topics, especially those related to youth, and women.
Communicators: Whatever your passion, turn it over to God. And,
know
that hope and a good future are available to you (Jeremiah 29:11).
Finally, I invite you to join
The Christian Writers View
(TWV1),
or The Christian
Writers View 2
(TWV2)
for which I serve as a co-moderator and panelist. Both
groups are fee, and feature more than a dozen panelists. TWV1 is for the
"serious writer," defined as "someone actively publishing or working
within the industry." TWV2 is for beginner and intermediate
writers.
Trust me: You won't find anything like these groups on the 'Net for Christian writers!
I invite you to join one today.
Again, thanks for visiting. Click around at your
leisure. Should you have
questions, please feel free to
e-mail me. My cyber-doors are
always open.
