Other Work History
I'm a multiple award-winning two-book author with a Ph.D. in English. My essays, literary reviews, pedagogical articles, blog posts, and other writings appear in such magazines as The Believer, Huffington Post, Iowa Review, Quarterly West, STET, Big Red & Shiny, Best American Poetry, Poetry Magazine, DIAGRAM, and many more. I've also worked as a copywriter of online and print marketing content for Scholastic Books, Barnes & Noble.com, and elsewhere. I can turn around very high-quality content on a wide range of subjects for an array of potential audiences quickly and professionally. I am rigorous as well as creative, and I am eager to bring my skill-set to work for your business needs.
