As I pursued becoming a full-time writer and author, I published six works of fiction spanning from short stories to novels in various genres including young adult, science-fiction/fantasy, and noir. In addition to writing, I also served as a freelance editor, assisting fellow authors with basic copy edits and higher-level concepts of their work. I was also able to assist with formatting and self-publication.

As a Freelance Correspondent for Livingston County News (The LCN), it was my responsibility to both write assigned stories and pitch local stories to the paper. I conducted all interviews and wrote and edited the copy for final submission to the editor.

At Upstate Metal I wrote interviews, feature stories and reviews of bands, shows and albums. Not long after starting, I took over the role of assistant editor which put me in charge of editing and managing 10+ writers.
