writing
In addition to my day job as an eLearning Content Developer, I take on freelance and pro-bono projects whenever possible. In 2010 these assignments included: writing weekly posts for a niche lifestyle blog; straight reporting and miscellaneous snarking for Time Out Chicago, the TOC Blog, and Eating & Drinking 2011; and creating web copy and marketing materials for a range of nonprofits and individual clients.
A professional “hire me!” site is in the works. In the meantime, feel free to love on samples of my published work (below) or email me at cirquedusnark [at] gmail [dot] com to discuss specific projects.
