Notes

My life, my résumé.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved writing. I wrote my first novel when I was 17 years old. It took one day. I decided to follow the path of my heroes, the Beat Poets, so I got a small, independent press to agree to publish my book. Everything would’ve been swell, only, before my book could get published, the small, independent press closed down. I shrugged my shoulders and immersed myself in poetry.

I wrote, practiced, and performed my own poetry. I joined slams at well-known poetry venues. Eventually, I made it to the final round of a prominent New York City slam. The MC of the final round, a guy you might have heard of by the name of Kanye West, didn’t know how to react to my poem, and I still wonder if it was because my poem was really good or really bad. All I know is, I didn’t win that slam.

Then, I went to college. It was there that I found my literary footing, surrounded myself with like-minded, wanna-be-creators, and followed many white rabbits down extraordinary paths. I interned with Dr. Roni Natov and became an editor for The Boylan Blog; I interned with the writer’s space, Room 58, and publicized events; I worked in the publicity & marketing department of Penguin; I was a secretary at a real estate agency; I was a board member for the largest student-run activist organization in New York State; I hosted poetry readings at the campus Women’s Center; I wrote for the Kingsman newspaper; I directed and acted in a sold-out production of The Vagina Monologues; and I taught poetry to high school students. At every, single one of these jobs, I edited. I edited the hell out of advertisements, press releases, academic articles, literary articles, newspaper articles, speeches, college entrance essays, scholarship application essays, personal statements, et al. I learned how to conserve words, how to adhere to MLA and APA guidelines, and, most importantly, how to keep the author’s voice dominant and fluid throughout the entire piece.

Later, I shifted courses to become a nurse; it was for this reason that my academic and vocational priorities changed. Yet, I still edited. I edited friends’ theses and acquaintances’ graduate school admissions essays. After a while, their friends sent essays my way. Before I knew it, my inbox was full of pieces for me to edit. I decided to start charging for my services, and that’s how I became an editor.

Hopefully, one day, you’ll have me edit something for you.

Filed under this is just a small part of my life but you get the idea I've been pretty busy gosh I love writing I love editing too I'm kind of a geek that way living my dreams all the way this is only the tip of my work experience oh the places I've met and the people I've been! no that's not a typo
