Nichole L. Reber’s Summary
My goals are to find new work and to meet new friends. Seeking ties to editors and publishers looking for freelance or fulltime writers. I am looking for guest bloggers for my blog and to find guest blogging opportunities on other blogs. I hope to meet and publicize people through my blog and print articles. Such people would include home decor-related artists, artisans and craftsmen; architects, builders, developers, designers, and land planners; universal design professionals, cohousing constituents, NIMBYs and those involved in NIMBYism, documentarians, shelter book authors. I also hope to discover various architectural events happening worldwide.
Anyone who needs marketing and promotional materials written and produced can contact me.
Attributes (what my editors have said about me): reliable, always comes in on or before deadline, imaginative, driven, creates mutual benefits, productive, efficient, trustworthy, loyal, and quite capable.
I prefer long-term professional commitments and expect reciprocity, which I believe leads to mutual benefits. I truly believe in writers' rights and therefore try to ensure a balance of copyright retention and pay rate. While some say my independence is an asset I find it can also be a burden.
May we strike up a great relationship!
