I'm an English Ph.D. with 15 years' experience as a writer, editor, and college English professor. As an academic, I've been teaching students how to express themselves in clear, clean prose since 2008, while publishing research on a variety of topics on film and historical fiction. As a writer, I've published sci-fi, fantasy, and horror stories in half a dozen professional literary magazines, and am an active member of both SFWA and HWA. As a fiction editor, I've lent my geeky passion for sci-fi/fantasy topics and historical fiction to a number of projects, working as everything from a lead developmental editor helping authors workshop rough manuscripts to a copy editor, line editor, proofreader, and story consultant. I often work in the genres of sci-fi, fantasy, YA and children's literature, and non-fiction memoir and history. I'm also widely practiced in editing commercial copy, and maintain ongoing relationships as an 'in-house' editor for several businesses. Some of the more interesting projects I've worked on include: -Robert C. Feol's award-winning "A Journey to Mouseling Hollow" series of fantasy adventure books -Writer and story editor on 'The Land Forgotten,' a fantasy video game -Developmental editor and copy editor of a sci-fi mystery novel, cyberpunk novel, sci-fi/fantasy mashup novel, and epic fantasy novel inspired by the Arabian Nights -Editor of children's books by Deborah Mortimer, Tameka Mitchell, and Kristen Niedzielski -Writer and editor of a comedic promotional book on the history of the velour tracksuit -Editor of historical manuscripts related to the Kennedy Assassination and the rise and fall of K-Mart -Wrote and edited copy for a clothing company, medical marketing company, legal consulting service, environmental organization, whiskey distillery, and adult toys manufacturer -Diversity/Sensitivity Reader for textbooks published by McGraw-Hill and children's books published by Learning A-Z -Writer for five themed collections in a series of Presidential Speeches -Historical Consultant for a novel set during the Civil WarHumor Writing

If you are curious about my work, look for me on Amazon, I also publish a bi-weekly article for El Nativo de Tejupilco, a local newspaper in Tejupilco, Mexico. I am comfortable writing either in English or Spanish, and my pleasure in life is to tell stories, profound, silly, scary or just plain crazy stories. For many years, I worked as a ghostwriter for screenplays in Hollywood. The whole system broke me down, as it does all others who venture to Tinseltown with their dreams on their sleeve. But I survived Hollywood, and I decided to keep writing stories, and if you are patient, you might find one or two to your liking on my amazon writer's profile.Humor Writing

I have nearly 6 years of professional comedy writing experience, mostly spent at The Onion. At The Onion you're expected to be a joke machine. Through the process of constantly pitching jokes, new content types, and video concepts nearly every day during that period, I have grown into a writer who can think creatively on command and find new angles to almost any topic thrown my way. Writing for The Onion also forced me to learn a little bit about everything. As a satirical newspaper, I could be asked to write or joke about any topic, and success therefore depended on quickly learning and synthesizing information on a given subject area in order to maximize the comedic value. As I continue to pursue comedy jobs in Los Angeles I'm open and excited to contribute to any project that may require a copywriter, scriptwriter, or just someone to help brainstorm or concept.Humor Writing

I have over 92K followers on TikTok and 6.5K subscribers on YouTube, and one of my videos, The Broadway Coronavirus Medley, recently went viral with over 1.7 million views and was shared on Twitter by Rosie O'Donnell, Arianna Huffington, Alan Alda, and even BroadwayWorld.
