Elizabeth Shugg’s Summary

I graduated from Virginia Tech in 1995 with a double major in communication studies and political science. I am a former editor-in-chief of two lifestyle magazines in the Triangle region of North Carolina, and I have worked for a national magazine, several newspapers and a corporate communications department.

In April 2008 I launched Triangle TRACKS at www.triangletracks.com. Exactly one year later, in April 2009, I launched Charlotte TRACKS at www.charlottetracks.com. Both are social networking sites for North Carolina parents that link to thousands of online resources for children in those regions.

I am a full-time freelance writer and editor as well. You can learn more about my writing and editing experiences at www.elizabethshugg.com.

I also like to Twitter about subjects relevant to my professional services and social networking sites at www.twitter.com/elizapbethpshugg, www.twitter.com/triangletracks and www.twitter.com/charlottetracks.
