I am a former high school English teacher with a bit of newspaper experience. I did some freelance contributing to a newspaper when my son was a baby, and over the past few years I’ve been doing freelance editing, which led to some freelance page design/desktop publishing, which in turn led to some more freelance writing. Funny how these things work out.

My interests include education, interior design, trends, small businesses, and parenting/family life.

How cool that you’re letting us do this! Thanks!

What can I write about? Well, I’d say my biggest areas of expertise are health care, education and parenting, with media issues and government tied for fourth. I covered education, youth and family topics and local government for a daily newspaper (The Desert Sun in Palm Springs, California). And I’ve written about health care for a whole host of publications, including a weekly journal, a website and an academic medical center’s communications department. Just for a few examples of topics I’ve tackled, I can list the worsening nursing shortage, standardized testing and accountability standards issues, No Child Left Behind, math and science teacher shortages, paying for college, medical technology, health care legislation and diabetes.

I also am very, very interested in religion and religious issues, since I’m a grown-up preacher’s kid and a deacon in the Presbyterian Church (USA). I’m an active member of my church now (too active sometimes…I’m on a host of different committees), so I’ve always followed church policy and political issues. But as a parent, I’m getting increasingly more interested in spiritual formation.

And I write about my successes and failures at parenting at my personal blog: http://three-peas-in-a-pod.blogspot.com. I write about random other stuff at http://jenniferlarsonwrites.wordpress.com. And for fun, I’m part of a blogging team that dissects why we, as parents, buy what we do; you can find me under the name Jenn L at gogetyourjacket.com.

I have a few areas I’m experienced with, but do consider myself a generalist.
Parenting, real estate (commercial and residential), interior design, business and retail, creativity, strategic writing, creative writing (MFA), and creativity coaching.

I have experience with marketing/PR/strategic communications, as a teacher and practitioner.

I’m a mom blogging at Wilmaville.com, have a couple blogs and moderating deals in the works and have my “practical” site at TheWriteElizabeth.com.

I hope we can collaborate soon!

I would cherish the opportunity to expand my writing duties. My goal is to be able to stay at home with the babies as these are my last.

I now specialize in writing press releases and copywriting. However, I consider other assignments on a per-project basis.

My subject expertise is in the area of pregnancy/childbirth/parenting, Internet marketing, arts and crafts, and strategic communication.

My freelancing website is http://www.alexisrodrigo.com

Thank you!

* pregnancy (as well as reproductive health), parenting, and kids

* living well (and creatively) on a shoe-string budget

* crafts and creative endeavors (with or without kids!)

I’ll send you an email regarding writing samples…

Thanks for the opportunity!

I am a freelance copyeditor and writer based out of northern Vermont. I’ve published a number of articles on various types of outdoor recreation, personal profiles, and travel. Samples are available on the portfolio page of my Web site (http://www.fourfoldpress.com).

My blog (http://www.fourfoldmom.com) is about “accentuating the positive and eliminating the negative” as parents. I believe in working towards balance in our lives — even if it feels elusive at times.

I write full-time, so I can turn assignments around quickly.

All the best –
Amanda

I’ve been enjoying receiving your posts, and hearing how other freelancers handle various situations. (I especially have enjoyed the mommy-perspective on things.)

I’ve been a freelance journalist for almost a decade. My specialties include weddings, home design, non-profits, lifestyles and travel. I have written my share of Web site content and press releases too. I’ve also dabbled in ghostwriting and fiction.

My portfolio is available at:

I hope to coordinate on a project soon!

Thanks,

In my former life (before kids), I was a book publicist, and continue to write book press releases for PR firms associated with publishing houses. I specialize in fiction, but also love writing press releases about non-fiction topics, especially biographies.

Since becoming a mom, I’ve expanded to green blogging and writing. My personal blog, teensygreen, features products and services geared towards families ready to make baby steps into the eco-world. I also guest write for green sites 5 Minutes for Going Green, ecorazzi, and am a paid blogger for Brita’s “Filter For Good” campaign. I’m also the “green genius” for the newly launched site, Working Mom Lifeline (www.workingmomlifeline.com).

I guess you can say I specialize in eco-writing, but I’ve also branched out to science and SEO marketing. I’ve written articles on biodiesel and bamboo flooring for How Stuff Works, as well as ghostwritten a book on SEO about seven years ago (so it’s safe to say it’s pretty outdated). I also do general freelance articles/blog posts/press releases for businesses ranging from car windshield companies to a blog design firm.

Thanks for this wonderful opportunity!

I am a technical writer with experience in writing online Help, user manuals, programming manuals, online demonstrations, newsletters, and training materials. I must be pretty good at tech writing; I’ve won 15 writing awards from STC. In my VA business I offer editing, proofreading, document production and layout services. Need an index? I can create those, too.

I am sometimes hesitant to say that I’m a technical writer. Folks assume that I can only write technical instructions. I’ve tackled a lot more than that for a wide range of subjects. For example, I was a blogger for 1 1/2 years with my parenting blog, which also featured many product reviews.

Check out my web site and email me if you want to know more. Thanks again!

I’ve been following you since the beginning and am a big fan, so I’d love to work with you at some point!

My areas of expertise:

*I write web copy for high school, elementary school, and district websites.

*Articles and blogging on several topics including parenting, home organization, frugal living, marriage and relationships, and working from home

*Reports and articles on health topics including diabetes, high blood pressure, and healthy living

Best to you guys!

Holli Ronquillos last blog post..Freelancing as a parent

I am the Founder of the Emphasis On Moms Ministry at http://www.EmphasisOnMoms.com, I blog for PreciousMoms.com, maintain my own blog, and write a column for MomWritersLitMag.com

I, like many others love to write about being a mom and parent. But I think I have some differences in that I am a Christian parent. So anything to do with faith, morals, values, character building, etc is right up my alley. I also am passionate about writing to women in regards to self esteem and image. I keep a keen eye out on media influences as far as raising kids, trends and what-not. And I was a full-time custodial stepmom.
