Writer in New Orleans, Louisiana

I'm an
Individual
I've been teaching English, writing fiction and non-fiction, and editing academic works, fiction, and ad copy for the last ten years. Ideally, I'd like a position that incorporates at least two of these skills. I'm Assistant Editor of Pseudopod, the horror podcast, where I've been working for over a year, and I am a new Senior Editor of Grimscribe Press, a Thomas Ligotti-centric journal based in New Orleans. My fiction has been published on Pseudopod (you can check it out at http://....org/). I've written, edited, and implemented curriculum for sixth-, seventh-, eighth-, tenth-, and eleventh-grade English courses during my last four years as a teacher, and I've successfully run two clubs: a comic book club for students in grades six through eight in which students wrote and illustrated their own cartoons, and a creative writing club for high-schoolers in which students participate in formal critique and submit writing for publication. My other skills include an advanced knowledge of all Microsoft Office programs, Wordpress, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, and OnCourse Systems; the ability to type at 80 wpm; understanding of contracts processing; the ability to draft and proof emails, essays, stories, and copy for maximum effect; and the ability to communicate effectively within a team as well as with writers, students, parents, and coworkers.
