Hello, I am a college student with 5+ years of experience in academic writing as well as creatively. Some of my skills are as shown: -Proofreading -Editing -Help with wording -Describe in as little or as much detail -Able to provide suggestions for writing -Beta Reading/Testing

I graduated from Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Arts in English, Creative Writing with Research Distinction. I minored in Professional Writing and completed Business Foundations in Marketing and Finance. I also completed Major Screenwriting requirements. I consistently was on dean’s list, was part of a Women in Business GROWTH Pilot Program, was in the National Honor Society for Leadership and Success and even had a major cumulative GPA of 4.0. For the creative writing program, I consistently had to send in portfolios to take fiction classes and was always learning from acceptances and rejections. While at school, I interned at Great Lakes Publishing and The Journal in editorial departments. My experience includes pitching, drafting, editing, fact checking, copy editing, and creating social media posts across digital and print mediums. I’ve gained experience editing published pieces. I’ve had to read many manuscripts across varying fiction and nonfiction themes, choosing which would be published and which would not be. I also gave comments on rejections to writers. My classes at OSU also gave me a range of experience in the publishing world, ranging from crafting, editing, and pitching many scripts, marketing designs, creative fiction pieces, nonfiction pieces, and technical writing pieces. I’ve even been in contact with industry professionals to learn more about industries and get industry tips. I've done client work with Great Lakes Sea Grant and Stone Lab, the Petrocultures Research Group, and Ohio Magazine following client driven visions and tone with directive timelines. I’ve been involved in reading and editing short stories and scripts, looking for themes, tone, characterization, character placement, foreshadowing, format, and suspense driven margining. I did this across varying fiction forms and different television or short form video scripts. I would be tasked with completing 30 to 60 readings like this, per semester, depending on the classes. With each edited piece, I’ve helped guide final form edits. I’ve also analyzed published author work for editorial and writing mistakes within storytelling that was missed from publishers. Some authors were even consistent on the New York Times Bestseller List. When at The Journal, I was consistently tested with copy editing quizzes from the New York Times, that were actual staff writer mistakes weekly. I would constantly look at industry trends to keep up with the latest trends and to analyze fresh work coming through the magazine. When doing marketing work, I’d create social media posting plans to gain viewer support derived from research. I’d also draft social media posts following the company’s image. Along the way, I’ve even been involved in writing and editing published pieces from nonfiction novels to fiction novellas and short stories. I even ended up publishing my own work with my name. My personal writing is typically fiction based in romance, fantasy, and horror. Some places where I’ve been published in White Cat Publications, Ohio State University Library, and Ohio Magazine. over a variety of short and long form writing. My range of writing includes nonfiction novels, advertorials, fiction novellas, short stories, and poetry.
