Writer & Editor
I am a storyteller who strives to grab readers’ attention in any medium I create. By day, I’m a mild-mannered editor, stringing together brand messaging to make customers/clients the main character of company content. By night, or on long lunch breaks, I’m a passionate creative writer, inviting readers to journey with me on adventures of the heart.
Amelia’s Credentials
I have studied English and creative writing, earning degrees in both fields. My experience includes writing and editing copy for numerous industries. I’ve also written several contemporary fantasy novels, which I’m seeking representation for.
My first and current professional writing and editing experience is in blogs, where both the personal and business side combine to give a more creative voice to a brand. I have incorporated a wide array of interests and I enjoy learning about new subjects and writing practices.
Biographies, newsletters, interviews, blogs, reviews, and social networking are all part of the ever-changing suit that freelancing has dressed me in. Good thing I’m comfortable in all of it. See my portfolio for a better scope of my experience.
Inside the Publishing Industry
I am currently part of a small writing critique group and the P2P publishing group, where I gain and give feedback on novels and publishing. Previously working for an online eBook store, I gained insight as I edited and wrote book reviews for mainstream and independent authors.
Interviewing novelists like Gregory Maguire, Janet Evanovich, Joanne Fluke, and more, was a privilege. I treasure the time I attended the BEA (Book Expo of America) and had brief discussions with famous authors, like Christopher Paolini and David Baldacci (please excuse the name dropping — I’m still star struck).
