This page probably won’t change often because that’s not its purpose in life. Check the links at the right for the blogs I update more regularly. While you’re checking those links you can make your way around this site and find all the other goodies I’ve included here. Not least among those goodies is a list of my articles that are available online. Jackpot! Woohoo! (You know you were thinking that.)

I’m a freelance writer and consultant. (I figure straightforward is the best approach. I wouldn’t want you to get too attached if you really came here looking for lawnmowers.) As a writer, I write magazine articles, essays, newspaper stories, press releases, marketing copy, musician bios, and pretty much anything else people pay me the right price to write. ;-) The consultant title covers all the other jobs I do to help cobble together a small but joyful living. So far, that has included the likes of working as a production assistant on some short film and television projects, doing publicity work for a non-profit organization, copyediting for publishers and researching secret societies of the middle ages for a novelist. It’s an open-ended list, though, always open to being jazzed up by another new assignment!

I’ve finally jumped into the Twitter pool to see if it’s as splashin’ a good time as everyone says. Come follow along! www.twitter.com/KamiTheWriter.

A few professional highlights

  • Since 2003 I’ve had over 100 articles and essays published in more than 30 online and print publications.

  • August-December 2007 I traveled in Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Sudan, DRC, Zimbabwe, and South Africa completing writing projects for non-profit organizations and magazines.
  • I spent July 2008 in Haiti doing another round of writing projects for non-profit organizations.
  • I worked from London for three months in Fall 2008.
  • I have visited college classrooms to speak about freelance writing and participated in career days at elementary and secondary schools in the US and in London.
  • I led a freelance writing session and a non-fiction writing workshop at the 2006 Appalachian Writer’s Conference.
