Bio:
I'ma cooool, smooth talking revolutionary who needs work...
A graduate of Hunter College, I am available as a writer on a full-time or freelance basis. My publishing experience is concentrated in the magazine industry, so I know how to produce great work in short notice, and under a deadline. I also have an advanced working knowledge of Quark, Dreamweaver and Photoshop, which I use to write pieces that always keep in mind the aesthetics of the medium.
As the information below suggests, however, I also have a history of experience with literary publications; most notably with International publisher Farrar, Straus & Giroux. For a copy of my resume in word format (.doc) right click here and select "save target as."
