Hi! I'm Beth! My passions are comic books, sci-fi television, trashy novels, theatre and good stories no matter where they are told. I'm constantly driven to learn more and do more and share what I've learned with others. And that might make me a nerd, but I am proud to own that too. If you don't own your passions, how can you possibly spread passion to others? I have found my true passion in the art of the written word. I have been working in print design for eight years and editorial for ten years. I have a BA in Journalism and an MS in Book & Magazine Publishing. I love the digital world and the freedom is allows me to work with all kinds of people from all over the world as a freelancer. I want to work with YOU. Please contact me so we can discuss your next project and how I might help!
