Travels

- Beyond traditional articles, I’ve completed a wide variety of other writing, communications, and media projects.
- My photos have been published with a growing number of articles.
Learning and sharing
- I’m part of a Nashville-based creative writing group, the Nashville Writing Collective.
- 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.
- Over the years I’ve attended the following conferences and courses for professional/personal development and networking: 412 Creative Nonfiction Literary Festival, Festival of Faith and Writing, AWP Annual Conference, The Vine, Q Conference, and mediabistro’s Pitch Letter Essentials course.
Miscellaneous
