Writing & Collaboration

As you may have seen on my About page, I currently work as a school librarian. While I love my students and the world of book stacks (okay, I’m not a fan of shelving books), I’m looking to branch out to wider pastures. Namely, writing.

If you’re into my writing style (which is the “real me”) on Meg Acts Out, great! You’re my new BFF. If you prefer a more professional vibe, I definitely have the propensity to incorporate such desires into a collaborative project, as well. *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* As they say in A Chorus Line, “I can do that!”

I LOVE to collaborate. If you’d like me to guest write for your blog, review a product my readers would benefit from learning about, or otherwise contribute (I do dishes, clean toilets, snuggle short-haired cats and so forth), please email me at [email protected] with a corresponding subject line and I’d be happy to chat.

To Businesses & Companies Looking for a Collaboration with This Here Blog:

I honestly feel honored that you know who I am and are considering working together. I’d be thrilled to collaborate with you on a project idea or green/natural/produced-with-integrity product review, given the below caveats:

Caveat #1: Please note, however, that any requests for blog posts that do not align with the standards I uphold for myself and my readers (again, visit my About page to see if we would play nicely together), I will need to decline.

Caveat #2: Given my limited schedule with this blog, other projects, work, and family, I ask that your company be able to provide compensation (either monetarily or by providing a free product for myself or as a giveaway to my lovely, deserving readers). I have halted my practice of writing posts for “free” for perfectly able-bodied companies. Social media shelling is not my idea of a proper business exchange. Thanks for understanding.

To Future Blogger Buddies:

Greetings, kindred spirit! If you’re a blogger, I’ve got your back. I’ve only been doing this for *cough, five, cough* a few years, so you may be a huge-timey blogger (I’m not worthy!) or a newbie, but either way, I get you. Time is a precious commodity. You may have kids, or just a spouse, or several huge, awesome dogs (or, ahem, three incredibly perfect cats), and a million other responsibilities that make all that blogging time you wish you had minimal.

I’d truly LOVE to help you out. I’m a giver, what can I say? If you want to hook up and have me write a guest post, I’d be happy to chat about the possibilities. You can write one for me, too, if you want — or not. It’s all good. This is all F-R-E-E, by the way.

Why do I want to get together like this? One: I think you’re rad. B: I suck at making friends, so I overcompensate by doing stuff for people (just ask Jenny from Mrs. Slopnick’s 4th grade class; that girl never had to clean her desk). Z: It might just help my visibility a tad to have your awesome readers know that I exist. Just a tad.

To Anyone Else Who Might Be Interested in My Mad Writing Skillz:

As I said above, “I can do that!” Although blogging and general eco-friendly writing is my passion, I’m also looking to get further into the world of article writing, copywriting, editing (generally shorter subject works such as e-books, articles, magazines), children’s book authoring, and the like, so if you’re willing to take a chance on me (take a chance, take-a take-a chance chance), shoot me a message. You will undoubtedly make my day, and hopefully I can make yours.

I hope you officially have Abba stuck in your head. I know I do.

I am proud to say that I currently work with Green Child Magazine as Staff Writer and Editorial Assistant, performing duties that range from copy editor to contributor to product reviewer. If you’d like to work with us, feel free to email me at [email protected] and I’ll send you to the right person. I also write a weekly blog for the incomparable Thirsties, Inc. and occasional entertainment/theatre pieces for Arts & Analytics.

Feel free to check out my LinkedIn page for more about my professional background. Or, of course, you can just read my stockpile of blog entries and decide whether my style fits your needs.
