RELATED EXPERIENCE:

I am a member of many writers and editors groups, including "The National Association of Women Writers," with which I'm affiliated; "Today's Woman," a prestige group of poetry writers who "bring poets together"; "Working Writers," a discrete, highly discriminating and limited-membership group of working writers, editors, and publishers; "Copy Editors," an Internet-based group devoted solely to the fine art of copy editing; "Writerfind" of New Zealand, where I list as a copy editor, editor, and ghost writer; "TFG" of Madison Ave., New York City, where I work occasionally as a ghost writer; "The eWriters' Guild," which is described as 'a society of talented and noteworthy writers of the Web'; "Freelance Writers," which is for all kinds of sophisticated freelancers; "Authors Den," of which I am a Bronze Member; "Writing.com," where my review work averages 4.65 out of 5 stars; and the "Comic Writing and Humour" and "Journalism" groups of Write Words, a premier writers association of the UK. I was accepted for membership in a highly exclusive group of writers and other creative artisans called "Phenomenal Women of the Web," and was welcomed into their upper circle, becoming the "Epitome of a Phenomenal Woman." Also, I was active in Simply Enchanting Angels, a philanthropic women's group of the Web. I joined Mike's Writing Workshop, and I am also an ongoing member of GreatReporter.com, where many of our very best filed Internet worldwide news stories are kept. I am currently listed with Daylo, WriteSight and WritersNet. I am an Expert Author at Ezine Articles, having attained their Platinum (10% of the Expert Authors) membership, which is only given without fee being paid to a few writers who submit their articles to this content-driven service. And I am also an Expert Author at ArticleClick.com, where I am multiply published.

I have also been an in-house poet at "Literary Magic" online literary arts magazine, and may become one again in 2008. They host my brief biography and also take my story contributions. I am on staff as a poet at another literary arts online magazine, "The Jimson Journal." I was recently nominated for membership in the International Society of Poets. Lastly, I am a member in good standing of the Canadian Federation of Poets, where they run my brief biography.

 

WORK HISTORY:

I have performed professional work in the writing, editing and art fields since before 1980. I have won several prestigious writers awards, many of which have been from my work on the Internet, for both my poetry and prose. My published writing and editing credits include local and national newspapers, print and Internet magazines, and fiction and non-fiction short stories, novellas, novels and books. I have also been a ghost writer, copy editor, manuscript rewriter and proof reader for several fiction and non-fiction manuscripts for technical, psychiatric, medical and academic authors, many of whom have been multiply published. I've written and edited articles, ad copy, business letters, sales letters, proposals for e-books, and documents for various Internet-based companies and organizations. And I've been a ghost writer, a copy editor, and a proof reader for several Internet websites, having designed much web copy and frequently updated it also.

These are among my finest completed projects, and I have multitudinous life experiences to work from for you as well. When it comes to being a publishing helper or assistant, I also help authors find literary agents or commercial publishers for their completed book manuscripts. I do charge an hourly fee for this service, up to twenty hours of searching, but I don't charge you if I don't find a literary agent or publisher who is at least very interested in your book manuscript.

 

RECENTLY PUBLISHED CREDITS:

Note:

You may readily purchase my and our team's ghost written books through Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble, as well as other such planetary book venues.

"AC 666," not the real title of the book, was authored by CO III and ghost written mostly by me. It was published by Port Orchard Publishing in 2006, having been previously published in New York City in 2005. It's a factually based science fiction novel that is set to be made into a major motion picture, when and if the many deals involving it come through. I also recently copy edited and rewrote a book that made it to the top of the New York Times non-fiction bestseller list. I have basically proofed, edited, written, researched or rewritten portions or all of the contents of the books listed below, not to mention the list of some high points of my recent other published works.

Don't ever think I'm merely a poetess; my work is sometimes poetical in its nature, but I also write both fiction and non-fiction prose quite capably. Howsoever, in both 2007 and 2008, I was nominated for Poet of the Year - and appointed a Poetry Ambassador by Poetry.com. Recently, I have won two of their "Outstanding Achievements in Poetry" awards. They host the International Library of Poetry. Several of my poems were published in both their 2006 and 2007 anthologies, and will doubtlessly be published in their 2008 anthology as well. My poem "Pregnant Because I'm Pregnant" - which won an Editor's Choice Award at Poetry.com in 2007 - was included, along with "Woes = Two Dozen Bears," which also won an Editor's Choice award. I have since won two more Editor's Choice awards from them, including one for "You are NOT 'Disabled, Too'" in January of 2008, and I've even won two Poetry Fellowships from them. Lastly, they've nominated me for inclusion in "The Best Poems and Poets" anthology for 2007. My poem "Autumn Leaves Never Die" was accepted into the poetry anthology "Centres of Expression," which was published by Noble House in 2007. Two of my poems were accepted for inclusion in the Reese Tyler Poetry Anthology for 2007, and I won their best poetry award as well. I also copy edited and proof read a book length poem about St. Joan of Arc in 2007 for B. Kennedy, which was also published in 2007.

I have contributed articles and corrections to Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia. I successfully entered and corrected an article on RSS codes and one on Center Park, the first apartment building in the United States built specifically for people with handicaps. I have written many service related blogs which are starting to get higher Google rankings, and will be writing several more. One of my favorite blogs, which is hosted on Google Blogger, features fanfiction I wrote about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It helped land me a job in 2007 as the ghost writer of a book about the investigation of his assassination, which is about the life and times of the Birmingham, Alabama FBI team who investigated Dr. King's assassination, and who located and arranged for the arrest of his murderer. One of this FBI's team's members is the man who arrested the assassin of President Kennedy: Lee Harvey Oswald. He actually took away Oswald's still-smoking gun, used in yet another crime. Currently, I am also working on a book involving the Cleveland Mafia of the 1970s, and the man who turned state's evidence against the Mob; he almost single-handedly destroyed the Cleveland Cosa Nostra.

This year and last year, however, I've been outsourcing to our professional team many of the ghost writing and copy editing jobs that come into this company, as well as graphics, website creation, search engine optimization and other jobs. But when it comes to my own work, among other unlisted projects, I managed to: coauthor a promo lit ghost writing manual for a book publishing company on Madison Ave of NYC in spring 2007; proof read and copy edit a Russian textbook on a new method of reaching the minds of small children in summer 2007; copy edit/rewrite a book on general sales techniques and another book about a system for winning at English horse races in autumn 2007; and rewrite a graphic three dimensional artist's annual statement of purpose in winter 2007. We also outsourced a book about CIA activity in South and Central America to one of our "ghosts" in late 2007 - which is being worked on in 2008. As it's an "on spec" book, we're expecting to rake in money for the book's author, the ghost writer and our company. We took a small amount upfront, and the rest will be made from percentages of profits. We use this method only in the case of a book likely to sell broadly and make money, and we can't do it in all cases. But you only have to ask us about it, to see if we can.

Anyway, here's a brief rundown of my latest projects, the ones I'm able to list. Over the past 30 years, I've worked on some 200-300 books, and performed numerous other projects such as assisting with screenplays. Some 25-50 of the books I've ghost written or edited have become best-sellers; but I'm not able to mention who wrote them, or the title of the book - author's privileges. However, I can give you some of my work since I hit the Internet in 2003; here's a list in the form of a very long run-on sentence, which is all right on this resume: a non-fiction memoirs of a Mafia hit man, by his widow, to be completed in August of 2008; a non-fiction book on yoga by a Singapore teacher, rewritten and further researched by me, completed in May of 2008; "Timeless Wisdom," a book of wise and timeless quotes on how to become a success in life, by João de Saldanha, copy edited and further researched by me, finished in December of 2007; "The Boys of Birmingham," about the FBI team which handled the investigation of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination, by P. L. Ryan, copy edited and rewritten with several pages of new material added by me, to be finished by January 2008; "The Tin Gods," a book about major corporations and how they control the world, by Dave Taylor, copy edited and rewritten by me, begun in mid 2007, to be finished in 2008 - if Dave, a U.S. serviceman, comes back from the Middle East conflict; "Maid of Heaven: The Story of St. Joan of Arc," a book length poem published in mid 2007, by Ben Kennedy, proof read and edited by me; "Blending Botany and Budo," a non-fiction book about the martial arts and Chinese herbology, by Thomas Joiner, copy edited and proof read by me, published in 2006; "AC 666," a heavily researched science fiction novel based on much factual data by CO III, ghost written and doubly proof read by me and assisted with new material by a team of others, first published in late 2004, republished in early 2005; "Love's Dark Kiss," a dark fantasy novel by Michelle Krogh, copy edited and rewritten by me, published in 2005; "Escape Into Hell," a mystery crime thriller by Vincent DeCampo, copy edited and rewritten by me and published in mid 2004; "A Tale of Pangaea - Thais," a Latin-based fantasy novel by Christopher Brown, edited and rewritten by me, published in 2004; "DevilGod" and "Sarlakk," an adult dark fantasy novel and an adult science fiction novel, both by the famous artist Claudia San Luis, rewritten by me, published in 2004 and 2005 (I have also rewritten a short story for her, and she is going to hire me to rewrite three of her children's chapter books); "A Life Less Ordinary," a modern youthful autobiography, rewritten by me, published around 2004, made into a blockbuster movie; "Dragon Valley," a fantasy children's chapter book by Jack Orr, ghost written by me, published in 2004; "Why is America so Fat?" a medical information book by Ben Kennedy, edited by me, published in 2004; "Forever Young and Beautiful," a book about health, beauty, nutrition and childcare by Joanne Parrotta, researched and rewritten by me, published in mid 2004; several short stories and poems for various issues of "The Jimston Journal" online literary arts magazine, in 2006 and 2007; an article published by Woman's Corner Magazine, their March 2006 issue; several articles on various topics both written and edited by me, or written by others and edited by me, published in various print and Internet venues; website copy for various clients; an article/blog called "The Sims Online Hosts the Mafia," which it does, published in a variety of venues; an article/blog on RSS, Atom, ROR and Google Sitemap XML/RDF codes for WebProNews, the Internet newsletter for serious webmasters; ad copy for e-books from Thomas Wallace of Human Imagineering; two ghost written science fiction stories, which were sold in PDF format on the Internet; several articles for newspapers, including “Seattle Downtown News,” “Single’s Life,” and “FishHeads,” all of the USA; articles on various subjects for the USA's AP and UPI news wire services; several pieces for magazines and university research, including “If Puget Sound is Falling Down,” about earthquakes in the Pacific NW, "Hippies of Ohio," for Athens Magazine, and “Improving Team Management,” for AIU Magazine; “Office Politics” and “Three Nights of Awesome Splendor,” two formula-written adult humorous fiction stories involving humiliating catfights for a New York City and Internet-based reading company; “Bubbleator 2050,” a science fiction story for “The Crusader” literary magazine of Seattle; a ghost written article which was published in several Deaf Community media about the prevalence of gossip and slander among Deaf People; several other articles, including one for Starbuck's about their version of a coffee-wearing superhero who sports a special self-pouring beverage machine to promote their restaurant, containing a lengthy interview with the device's inventor; "I Wish It Could Have Been Otherwise" and "How a Head Cold Got Me Married," both written for book anthologies in 2003, and both award-winning and favorably criticized stories; and interviews with local and national musical and artistic figures, including blind musician/writer/publisher/author Douglas Bright of Seattle and famed country-western singer Dolly Parton. I was also a Staff Editor and Writer on the Human Imagineering Company's "WebZine." And I have several very good poems on file with the International Library of Poetry at Poetry.Com, where I've won several awards.

As stated above, Rainbow Writing, Inc.'s workers are freelance and contracted ghost writers, copy editors, proof readers, manuscript rewriters, cowriters, coauthors, and book authors of several published and soon to be published book manuscripts. And I have been hired as a ghost writer, copy editor and proof reader for multiple websites, am continuously writing and editing text copy for websites, articles and business documents, and have many returning satisfied customers. I was also hired to write articles regularly for an Internet weight loss company as its features and short weight loss related articles contributor, a job which I had to forsake due to low pay. I must insist here that ghost writers do need to be paid properly for their good work and services.

We are planning on having him make the below into a movie script, as soon as we get together on this fun and intriguing project.

 - my first real humorous fiction novel - is being prepared for rewriting, printing, publishing and distribution. It will be fully distributed in the USA and world-wide once it is completely ready to go.  Soft and hardcover versions will be available at all major bookstores - as well as paperback versions through instant bookstore printing, a terrific new trend - and it will be fully downloadable in PDF format over the Internet. Plans are being slowly formed to make it into either an "indie" motion picture or something more like a major commercial production. I prefer the thought of making it in Canada myself.

 

RELATED EDUCATION:

From 1978 to 1980, I went to Ohio University of Athens, Ohio, and I attended other schools up through the nineties. I have a self-determined bachelor's degree in journalism, the fine arts and creative writing. I have attended seven other institutions of higher learning, both on physical campuses and via the WWW, and I've taken several field related classes. I once cotaught a workshop in mass communications and magazine publishing. I also took an Internet-related training course in high-end sales letter writing for multinational corporations. As you can plainly see, I'm always in the process of continuing my own self education.

 

PERSONAL ENDING STATEMENT:

When it comes down to computers, writing, editing and the fine or the commercial arts, I feel that I'm largely self-taught. My greatest learning will always be through my own individual efforts. However, I have recently taken classes in both team dynamics and project management, and I feel capable of handling the basics of both project integration and group cooperation. I have lots of knowledge and team-oriented access regarding software, hardware and general "hacking around," and I could always stand to learn more and about virtually anything. And I retain ample knowledge regarding the realities of being a cooperative, vital, organized and inspirational team member.

 

Really, you should hire me and/or

the members of our RWI Outsource Team.
