Freelancing Services

So, as much as I love fiction and am trying to finish my novel, fiction just doesn't pay the bills (it doesn't pay ANYTHING, actually. At least, not YET. Gotta stay optimistic, here.)

In the meantime, while I slowly make my way towards a full-time fiction career, I do freelance work. And I love it. I love working from home, I love the variety, and of course I love being able to get paid to do what I love to do, no matter what type of writing it is.

As you may or may not know, Michigan's economy is not particularly booming at the moment. In fact, Michigan is ranked 4th in the country for unemployment and our housing market stinks (to put it mildly). People are fleeing this state faster at record speed. And I can't say I blame them!

Personally, I am so very blessed that my husband has a good job, let alone a job at all. And I am thankful for the clients I have but I would welcome a few more! So I wanted to put a notice here, listing my services. If you, or anyone you know, are looking for a freelancer, give me a shout. I'd love to work with you! And feel free to check out my website, which also provides my freelance services and fees.
