Thank you for your interest in my available parenting articles.  

My articles on parenting topics have appeared in regional, national and international publications.  Here's what one reader had to say about my article "Mommy Fears," which appeared in the May-June issue of MomSense. 

WRITE FROM THE HEART

Helping other parents is one of my passions.

A single mom, author, freelance article writer, editor, and conference speaker, I enjoy writing about various topics. My first book for parents, "I Want to Teach My Teen About Money Management," debuted in October 2006. 

 My success writing for multiple markets  — general and religious; U.S. and international; youth, women,  parenting and professional — proves that I can effectively handle a cross-section of assignments.  Specialty/niche topics, in addition to parenting, include: money matters, youth, African American issues, and spirituality. 

While your interest may be in my reprints, please know that I am available for original feature, filler (including book or product reviews) or column assignments that meet your current or future editorial needs.  I work within your established budget for freelance submissions.  Please email me to discuss your needs.
