I have a degree in English Literature with a writing minor, plus graduate study in Professional Writing. I write articles, brochures, website copy, business collateral, and other communication pieces. In 2006, I started a local magazine and brought it into play in the Kansas City area. I wrote articles and edited the entire monthly magazine for six years, until I sold my interest in the publication. I also have a sound knowledge of the publishing industry, including sales and marketing, commercial printing, web publishing and more. I am proficient in many software packages, plus WordPress, Google Docs, and other online systems. I taught Desktop Publishing, Web Design and other graphic design courses at Avila University in Kansas City. I have written content for blogs that rank high in search engines, and I'm familiar with internet marketing, adsense, and keyword stuffing. All of that sort of thing. If you need a professional piece, let me work with you to create copy that moves your audience. From information to motivation, I can help deliver your message. I am new to GURU.com writing, and I'm working on my portfolio. Please email me with any questions.
