Nina Alvarez’s Summary
I work for Artspan.com as a portals editor and internet marketer.
As a freelance writer, I write smart, vivid web and print copy, elegant brochures and can even design. I am a published poet and short fiction writer and write a number of blogs including: ninaalvarez.net, philthyart.com, and phantomcity.blogspot.com.
I have been a copy editor for Aramark and Educational Testing Services and as a copywriter and designer for Project Management Institute.
I wrote my first story when I was 8. At 15, I published my first poem. For 20 years I have been obsessed with language, with meaning-making and its effect on subjectivity, communication, and personal happiness.
