Writing!

Photo Donna — Sat, 07 Jun 2014 12:34:42 GMT

Sooooo -- I am getting paid to write! How cool is that? This week I had a request from a local magazine to write a brief piece and provide photos. Then, yesterday, a regional magazine put out a call for an article -- I pitched one and got the job!

Thanks! I am excited. I have been beginning to work on a book -- part memoir and part how to become an art photographer. Small parts of it some people have seen -- they like it. One friend is head of an English Dept at a large university -- and I have a couple agents interested -- so being published with these articles will help!

woo hoo!

Congratulations!! I wrote a few articles for a local newspaper back in the day. I have always loved writing and sent in so many Letters to the Editor that they contacted me to write several articles on various topics. I really enjoyed it!!

I hope you stick with it and become a journalist . . . how exciting!
