I don’t think I told you this, but I won a trip to New York City from my favorite places, Sephora (Mecca) and Bumble and bumble. (My hair is quivering at the thought) I went this weekend and was treated to a day of bliss at the Bb salon. The photo above is of […]
Special Interview Coming Up in February: Donovan Candle
Okay, you may not have heard of Donovan Candle, but you may have heard of the author of A Life Transparent and The Liminal Man, Todd Keisling. To celebrate the release of The Liminal Man, a Blog Tour is running rampant for a month and a half! Right here, on the Verge, on February 12, […]
Plagiarism Has No Place in Your Work… or Your Profile on Freelance Sites
I use Elance to find projects when I am between private clients. On Elance, I maintain a complete profile. It includes my experience, my standards, and more. The one thing it does NOT include is a portfolio of my work. Plagiarism runs rampant in the freelance community. This is a sad, but true, fact. I […]

New Service: Tutoring
I have worked with my own children as well as others in English Language Arts. I write lesson plans (ghostwritten) for several websites and have also ghostwritten copy for educational apps. I created a book club for families. With all that in mind, I have started offering tutoring services. I have my first client through […]
Do Spelling and Grammar REALLY Matter?
I have encountered so many “writers” who have terrible spelling and seem to take a finished work and sprinkle commas over it with a salt shaker. This just is not going to work if you are going to call yourself a writer. One young man asked me to read something he had written and give […]
