Dean - writer/publicist - ProfilesArchive

About Me

I'm a freelance writer and publicist based in Austin, Texas. I enjoy spreading the word about musicians, artists, small businesses, products and services I personally believe are making the world a better place. Check my website for a more formal bio, resume, and client list, as well as my portfolio of publicity work, advertising, reporting and literary non-fiction and writing class information.
For over ten years I've led non-academic, community creative writing workshops such as Writing Your Life As A Woman, the Closet Fiction Writer's Workshop and Collecting Your Memories.
Dean's List is a free weekly email of bite-sized, gentle inspiration, motivation and education. There's a sample of Soul Food in the blog above. For more info see deanlofton.com/deanslist - where you can sign up. This project grew out of previous assignments: meditations for skirt! magazine and body/mind/spirit tips from my column in the (Charleston) Post and Courier. Choose from:
Soul Food - a Monday morning call to a more soulful life.
Write Now - writing prompts
Jeff Lofton's Jazz Notes, a quick fix of jazz ed a collaboration with my client (and husband).
