To Whom It May Concern:
Do you have any work available for a freelance writer/editor/reviewer? To share about myself, briefly:
- I'm a working writer. I've written a published novel (Beltane from Eternal Press, released Oct. '08), short stories, and articles. My credits include the February and July '08 issues of The Saturday Evening Post and the literary magazines Wild Violet, Down in the Dirt, and The Shadow Sacrament. I've also recently signed on as a freelance editor with AG Press.
- I received a Dorothy Hamilton Scholarship to attend the Midwest Writers Conference in July 2007.
- As a Psychology major at St. Mary's College (Notre Dame, IN, USA), I was formally trained in social science writing using American Psychological Association guidelines.
If you have any projects I could assist you with, please contact me. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Looks good - very professional! :)
Best of luck with this!
Looks Great!
Now I'm like a nervous teenager, I've never had the chance to discuss writing with a published author with Solid Credentials before!
Just kidding entirely, I've sent my stories and letters of introduction to such lumenaries as Steven Schlamielberg, George Loopis...er, Lucas, Playboy Magazine, you know, LOTS of high end Shakers...but, well I'm still waiting for that letter of rejection! Been, oh, twelve, thirteen years...maybe they got busy or something.
Erin, your True Nature is seamlessly imbued into your every word, your offers to help others are not tainted by even a molecule of selfishness...are you feeling OK? I had always heard that writers who get published become automatically full of themselves, that although most CLAIM to feel connected to those writers still striving, the essential Soul of Success takes away from the purity of the Art!
Then again, I got this information from the only sources available in my stomping grounds, Thoity Thoid and Thoid, where Vinney Fingers is the Chief Agent we all had to pay dues to, actually his lawyer Seymore Pickett collected every week, and...
Gees, I am SO tired from work - plumbing and roof repairs today, major stair repairs yesterday and Wednesday, MAJOR power washing and steam cleaning for daze earlier at the new Windham Vacation Resorts buildings on Sutter Street in San Francisco's Tenderloin, they just opened TODAY!! So beat that every attempt at being funny has sunken to the most painful BELLYFLOPPERY that I will now fall over andzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Erin, please direct me to a short work that YOU consider your showpiece, are those S.E.POST articles/stories online? Sorry I popped in here like an un-popped kernal from yesterdays soggy popcorn, I'll get lots of z's, finish my Medical Center Steamclean tomorrow, and then my 40 hour weekend STARTS!!
Yaay the Almighty BUCK!!
On the whole, I'd rather be a...WRITER!!!!
You wear your True Nature WELL Erin.
Right well!
Okay, before I erase the previuos long and mostly imcoherent post I must set forth some deeper meaning upon which that product of mindless spasmodic beating on my poor keyboard was predicated.
First, Erin, I'm onto you, you with your honesty and cool impressive resume, HA!! What are you up to here, trying to upset the status quo, the Ultimate Purpose of the Writers of This Wild Whirled??
No doubt you saw some of my skillfuly-contrived presentations in which I proved the value ol the Subtle Approach, tickling the ego of my 'friends' here at Gather and then just when the opiate-like sweettalking has hypnotized the unwitting, oh-so-trusting fools into believing I'm here for THEIR benefit and then out of thin air KA-JING! I sneak in my masterfully sculpted Shameless Self Promotion before anyone can say "Who's your DADDY Kiddies?!?"
Sure, you're offering tg help Folks with THEIR projects!! I gotta hand it to ya Erin, what a PERFECT way to heist the lifes' work of us REAL writers! I'm in AWE of your BRAZEN yet BRILLIANTLY conceived Plan of Action, and your DELIVERY and STYLE, off the charts BRAVO Young Lady!
Look, I'm off to work but I'll be back and I hope to convince you to TEAM UP WITH ME!! Between YOUR amazing and entirely convincing act, your genuine True Heart, sweetness, you know, all that stuff you learned at Acting School [But the Notre Dame hook, WOW you are My Kinda Con Gal, truly awesome twist that 'College Education' bit adds to the mix, be sure Erin: You take some pointers from me, you know, my Street Smarts and the stuff I learned from watching Seymore Pickett, the fake attorney/ pimp who I learned The Big Con from [I am a VERY astute student, by the by] and together, we can lift and slip away like ghosts, with every PLOT, hot new CHARACTER, every fresh new CONCEPT, maybe even some PUBLISHING CONNECTIONS from these bumpkins at Gather before they wake up and SMELL the IRISH COFFEE I just spilled all over my Hush Puppy 'Shoplifter Specials'!
I'll lift you a pair of these from Shoemart, Erin, no Con Gal should be WITHOUT them!!
I'll be back later, but you gotta keep this on the HUSH HUSH okay Erin? Together we will FLEECE THESE GEESE!!!!!
ps yuk yuk I'm going to be FUNNY today...later today maybe...
So where can we buy you're novel?
You can buy the paperback through Amazon.com, or the e-book directly from Eternal Press at www.eternalpress.ca/beltane.html
Awesome. Thanks.
