Specialties
For the past 10 years, I have been experimenting during my free time with print-on-demand publishing. That effort is what is expressed under the umbrella of Mythville MetaMedia. It's the product of my early enthusiasm for e-books and self-publishing 10 years ago. In addition to my own works of poetry and creative non-fiction, that vision is starting to see some tangible results in the publication of a new online zine, American Mythville Literary Review.advocateinteractive@gmail.com
Experienced social critic and media analyst. My journalism expertise includes more than 25 years as a professional writer, editor, newsroom manager. I'm looking for a job as either an editor to lead a staff for a viable publishing endeavor with a solid foundation, or as a reporter, writer, columnist, contributing editor.
