Jennifer Akers :: Freelance Writer

Life as a Freelance Writer

I am a freelance writer, book reviewer, and editor for online and print media. Since I'm multi-titled (note to self: change to multi-talented), I combined my work into a snapshot of my writer's life. It's not about the glamour (gotta find out when that starts), but it sure feels better than scribbling "I want to be a writer" on dream career questionnaires.

On this lens, I'm sharing my own work: human interest articles, personal essays, and book reviews. Most of my work is nonfiction, though I review both nonfiction and fiction titles. I love finding well-written stories: rounded characters, complex plots, realistic dialogue. When I do find those kind of stories, I often highlight the authors on my sites.

New writers have asked me for advice and tips, so I've included helpful links to my portfolio, other Squidoo lenses and websites plus my favorite resources: how-to writing books, new authors, writer gifts, writers' organizations, and writing websites.

Thanks for visiting me on Squidoo - my favorite social network!

Drop me a line and say hi - I'd love to hear what you're writing and reading!
