Introduction: I am a Steele, MO based writer and editor. I began writing short stories and poems at the age of ten. My first published work was a poem I submitted to a contest offered by the Smithsonian Institute. Since then I have published in newspapers as well as online. I have an Associate of Arts degree and am six credit hours away from completing my Bachelor in English. I am a prolific reader and have a natural ability to pick out grammatical flaws, story continuity issues, ect. Writing is my passion and I look forward to working with you soon!
