Expertise

Novel writing is my specialty but I've several articles advocating for human rights and the rights of special needs. I've also written children stories, historical romance, fantasy, trilogies, and non-fiction. I have editorial experience and have worked with literary agents, self-publishing, publishing companies in both the United States and Canada. I imagine I can answer any questions asked about this field, and if not, can direct the question to someone who could.

Experience in the area

six articles, two novels, three children's books, two triologies and currently working on an auto-biography

Education/Credentials

BFA, working towards my masters

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

More publications, novels and stories...
