- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I read. I think. I self-educate. In the past I have been part of writing guilds and classes, but at this point I find reading and keeping up with current events to be the best education.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have incorporated writing into every traditional job I have held. It was a bonus job -- I was rarely paid for it -- but I could not resist taking on the additional work of writing newsletters, crafting ad copy and direct mail pieces, script writing for radio and print media, and most recently, creative web copy. I may have stumbled clumsily into this profession, but my experience is sound.
