I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm a freelance writer, almost two years out of the MFA program at LSU. I write fiction, screenplays, poetry, creative nonfiction.After a short stint at a law firm and as a PA on a big-budget movie, I'm building my freelance career, having a load of fun and making friends. I'm doing some publicity and promotion work for friends and still plugging away at The Damn Novel.New Orleans is the place for me and I'm very lucky to have found my way here.Here's hoping you'll see the novel I'm currently struggling with in the bookstore one day. I'm not asking for the bestseller's shelf. Just any shelf. You know, cloth and paper and ink. And an ISBN. ;")I take that back. I want the bestseller shelf.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Anybody in my friends group that I haven't already. Loads of historical figures.
