Kelly Jo Eldredge’s Summary

My husband and I are co-owners of an outstanding little writing company called 4 Cats, Ink. Our motto is "passion on the page," and we seek to fill the need for quality writing by offering our services as authors, editors, and grant writers.

I have a degree in music and communications from Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. I also hold a master's degree in music from the New England Conservatory.

After eight years on the road as a professional singer and actress, I finally tired of traveling and landed in Scottsdale, AZ working as a writer and administrator for an educational consulting company. I moved to Colorado in 2006 to be closer to family and met Eric about two months after arriving in Denver. I have a wide variety of professional experiences that include grant writing, marketing, communications, project management, and IT customer support.

Today I enjoy the numerous interesting and unique writing opportunities that come our way at 4 Cats, Ink. When I'm not writing, I'm volunteering, singing in the church choir, and participating in the outdoor Colorado lifestyle.
