Welcome to my Author's Page!
I enjoy writing as an opportunity to learn new things. I hold a Bachelor's of Arts in Political Science, concentration Leadership Studies, with a minor in English Literature from Christopher Newport University, a small liberal arts university in Newport News, VA.
I was raised in southeastern Virginia. I have two younger sisters, both in college, and parents who still chase each other around like teenagers. My wonderful husband and I now live just outside Charleston, SC to support his military career. We have traveled all over the world together, and are looking forward to a few years of quiet.
I am delighted I was able to flee from corporate America before I lost track of who I am, and that I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work from home. My interests are varied, and there isn't really a subject I am too timid to tackle.
My rates are negotiable, depending on the work desired. I tend to price articles where I chose the subject matter higher than those where subjects are requested. Half the battle as a writer is just narrowing down the subject to write on, so I give a little credit that private requests alleviate that step of work.
Thanks for stopping by, and I look forward to a successful writing career with Constant Content. :)
