Let&#8217;s read as she tells us her story\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nancy, our writers live all over the U.S. Where do you currently reside? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I live in Athens, Georgia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ve been writing for us for a while now, correct? How long have you been writing for us?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a little over a year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Speaking about writing for us &#8212; how did you hear about us? Word-of-mouth, or in some other way?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I saw a post on Facebook from a trusted friend, and I followed up, and here I am. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><strong>We offer a lot of different types of writing assignments, on all sorts of topics, as I&#8217;m sure you know well. What do you personally like to write about the most? Any favorite topics or <\/strong>subject-matter<strong>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the things I&#8217;ve enjoyed most about this job is learning about topics I know nothing about! When there are a lot of projects to choose from, I&#8217;ll pick the ones that I want to learn about first. If I had to name a few favorites, I guess I&#8217;d go with health-related topics, real estate, author or artist websites, travel, and anything related to houses &#8211; plumbing, HVAC, roofing, etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If we were looking over your shoulder as you write, what would that look like? Could you describe a little of the process you go through? How do you prep for a writing assignment and then actually complete the assignment? What&#8217;s your typical approach?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, I start with research, but it&#8217;s a cyclical process. Once I come up with an angle and do a little research on that angle, I start writing, but as I&#8217;m writing I often have questions and go to other sources to try to answer them. I like to bring in information from a variety of sources so that I&#8217;m providing something distinct and helpful. When the draft is finished, I proofread by using the computer&#8217;s text-to-speech function. That&#8217;s a recent discovery &#8211; it has really helped me find errors that my eyes don&#8217;t catch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you say being able to work as one of our writers has helped you to gain experience and deepen your skills as a writer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In what way(s), exactly?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve gained confidence in my ability to learn about and write about virtually any topic under the sun, for one thing. I&#8217;ve also gotten experience with different types of writing, like press releases as well as long informational articles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you think that this is something that you will be doing, let&#8217;s say, in 5 years maybe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I hope so!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you do any other work as a freelancer &#8212; do you have your own website or personal blog where you share your writing and connect with the public?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I also do freelance work as a proofreader\/editor, but I don&#8217;t have a website.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks, Nancy!
