A little bit about me.

I've been writing something since I was at least 10 years old. I worked for 23.5 years at a local daily newspaper and then for 7 years at an e-commerce site, researching, writing and approving deals on anything you can think of. (Don't believe me? Just ask!)

I've also written over 700 freelance articles for the site wiseGEEK.com under the nom de plume A. Kaminsky.

If you need clean, engaging copy, I can do that. If you're looking for an editor and proofreader to produce fast, accurate results, I can do that, too.

And, if you want someone to do research and fact-checking, well by George, that's me, too!

I love writing and putting words together so people will enjoy reading them.
