My writing experience includes stories about food, home decor, interesting people, pets, matters of faith, small business success, personal finance and more. I am skilled at taking a topic and creating crisp, understandable copy around it that the reader will enjoy.
Let me live, love and say it well in good sentences. ~Sylvia Plath
