Amelia's Take: *** I'm your typical story: ever since I was little I've been writing, but money was tight and being a writer was no way to make ends meet. But I took a leap of faith. *** Summary: In college I was a writing tutor, editor-in-chief and layout designer of the literary magazine, and it seemed like a job in editing should follow. After graduating, I landed a position as an editorial assistant at a mom & pop -- yet highly competitive -- educational publishing company. I was soon promoted to associate editor where I helped develop texts and teaching materials, working with a variety of writers and editors. I left my position there to attended graduate school, which included studying expository and grant writing, my writing and editing being put the test by some of the best professionals. Realizing how privileged I am to have this education, I am hoping to give back and help others achieve their goals, knowing what it's like to have a tight budget, but a lot of drive and a lot of dreams.
