I am an active member on online writing groups such as CritiqueCircle.com and AbsoluteWrite.com. I have learned so much not only from receiving critiques, but by critiquing. I am a Literature and Writing major at Cal State San Marcos. Currently, I am an intern at the Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency. In the past I interned at entertainment companies where I read and wrote coverage on scripts. I have edited half of various manuscripts for free as a way to gain experience. I have also edited a few full novels. The writers have found my work very beneficial. Also, I am in the early stages of querying my novel to agents.
Since I will be graduating from the university soon, I really want to start getting paid for working in the publishing/writing world. I cannot see myself in another field. I do have a part-time job right now, so I keep busy. But editing, writing, and guiding writers is what I really want to do. I know I can be helpful! :)
Thank you.
