| Introduction | I have been professionally writing since I was 19 years old. I am the Career Editor at Hilary Magazine and a marketing intern for the Palm Springs International Film Festival (www.psfilmfest.org). Previous to working at HILARY (www.hilary.com), I worked at Teen People, while writing for Beautiful Girl magazine, the Desert Post and Palm Springs Life magazine. I am a self-proclaimed spa enthusiast who loves moonlight walks on the beach and a healthy dose of challenges. Bring it on! One of my metafiction pieces can be found online at www.mettafiction.blogspot.com/. I also have a blog dedicated completely to my writing, http://imaginationignited.blogspot.com. I hope to have my first YA novel published shortly after graduating from the UCR Palm Desert MFA program in JUNE 2009. I hold a BA in Liberal Studies with an emphasis in English and Creative Writing and a BS in Anthropology from University of California, Riverside. |
