Fresh out of a three-day intensive copyediting class and ready to wield my newly sharpened skills, I am first and foremost a writer's writer. I love turning otherwise boring subjects into something readable, engaging and actually pretty interesting. When I'm not trying to work magic on our drier subjects, I have experience whipping up fun articles on beauty, fashion, health, relationships and entertainment. Yes, I've interviewed celebrities. No, I don't have juicy, jaw-dropping yarns to spin about any of them, but I do have some good clips to show for my time. Much of my background in entertainment writing has been built around music, particularly hip-hop and R&B, where I've tackled everything from album reviews to scathing editorials. In fact, that's my niche—opinion writing. Give me a topic, a platform and a set word count and I can argue my viewpoint so passionately, your readers will applaud me or take to their keyboards to berate me. Either way, I get folks talking—and reading.
