For Writers

Of all the markets I write for, by far my favorite is writing. From brainstorming to drafting to submission, I love the writing process. I’ve even got a blog full of my trials & tribulations on the page: www.writer-in-progress.com.

In addition to writing about writing, I also love teaching writing. My presentations to writing groups include:

Central Ohio Fiction Writers: Dream Analysis, Get Up and Goal: Setting Your Writing Goals

Hearts Through History: Fiction to Freelance Writing

Carolina Romance Writers: Fiction to Freelance Writing

Northeast Ohio Romance Writers: Fiction to Freelance Writing

Some of my articles, both online and print, are too good to not to share–so here you are!
