Angela Wilson’s Summary
I work as a freelance Web Producer for Learfield InterAction, a division of Learfield Communications in Missouri. This position combines my radio credentials, extensive newspaper reporting and research, marketing/PR knowledge and my love of blogs and podcasts into a job I love.
Telecommuting most days doesn't hurt, either.
I am passionate about finding innovative, creative ways to use the Web to communicate messages. That means a dynamic Web site, blogging, podcasting and online networking.
My other freelance gigs include:
~ Marketing Columnist (monthly), Mike's Writing Newsletter
~ Critic, PopSyndicate.com
~ Book Blog Editor, PopSyndicate.com/books
~ Publicist
Currently, I'm laying the groundwork for a marketing blitz under my alter ego's name. She pens romantic suspense and urban fantasy novels, with a few short stories mixed in.
