I have been a freelance writer sinc 1998. I have excellent writing and proof-reading skills.

I am presently on part-time staff for the Nederland Mountain Ear, also a weekly newspaper, and contribute regularly to it. I have written several freelance articles for a topic-specific national magazine, Doll Reader, and also have written many press releases on various subjects. I am attaching some of my previous articles to this letter. I have effectively publicized and merchandised a large wildlife rehabilitation organization, and have written advertising copy for a television station in Texas. I have an extensive creative background, having won an art scholarship and several awards for my art, sculpture and photography. I have designed a county flag and several logos for various organizations, events and businesses, and I have some experience in layouts. My career field in most recent years has been real property appraisal, but encompassed within the duties of that job were many aspects that would have relevance to the position you are advertising. I have extensive successful experience in dealing with people; providing outstanding customer service is something on which I place great importance and take pride in offering. Organization, attention to detail and accurate record-keeping have been inherent in my profession; I leave an excellent paper trail. I am very motivated to perform, and take reponsibility seriously. As my previous jobs were often very complex, I am comfortable with multi-tasking, meeting deadlines and working well under pressure. I have good computer skills, and am familiar with Wordperfect and Lotus. I own my own computer, and presently work in Linux, but am familiar with Microsoft Windows as well. Prior to my career in property appraisal, I accumulated several years of work experience in retail sales, public relations, publicity, management, and light bookkeeping - all of which seem to be helpful in many jobs. I am most willing to come in for an interview, so please feel free to call me at the number above. It is my hope that you will give serious consideration to my qualifications and desire to work for your newspaper. Thank you for your attention and consideration.
