Location Longmont, Colorado, United States
Introduction I am a middle-aged woman, married, living in Longmont, Colorado, USA. I work as a freelance Art Director/Book Designer mostly with a small special projects publisher. I've been a designer my whole adult life, and secretly I want be an "artiste/writer" when I grow up. I write a little but have never attempted publishing—this could change. I could start my own collection of rejection letters. Curious about the future of traditional publishing and the e-publishing revolution that's happening now.
