| Introduction | I am the owner and operator of A Write Word Literary Services. I received my BA in English from Flagler College in 2002 as a member of Sigma Tau Delta, the English honors society. Since that time I have written and edited for national magazines and newsletters, as well as freelance writing and editing for novelists, businesses, and students. I have years of experience as a tutor in Flagler College’s Writing Center, and I am fully trained and experienced in the latest MLA, APA, AP, and Chicago Manual of Style guidelines. I am a graduate of the Goliath course, Writing Effective Grant Proposals, and I am a member of the American Grant Writers Association (AGWA). I began A Write Word as a freelance service to my local community in 2005, and have since expanded my market through my website (www.awriteword.com). When I’m not writing and editing, I’m reading, enjoying a movie or live theatre, at a folk music festival, or frolicking on the beach. Some of my hidden talents include blind wine tasting, herpetology, and English Equestrianism. I love to laugh, learn, and challenge myself. |
