Hi all! I'm new here to AW and I am a freelance writer of non-fiction. I've got a degreen in Journalism but after that I worked primarily in marketing/public relations (writing for that kind of stuff!) I became a SAHM after the birth of my first child but stayed active by volunteering to do PR for some local non-profits. I also freelanced for a local lifestyle magazine for three years and coming up on three years this month I started a blog as an extension of the workshops I was teaching (it's a topic specific blog) and have learned so much since then! Now that the kiddos are all in school, I'm hoping to make this writing gig a litle more than just a side thing. I'm attending my first writing conference in May and am really excited about that! I'm looking forward to learning from you all here.

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Greetings and welcome to the watercooler :welcome:

Take a wander around the various forums, there's lots to see and lots to learn, and even some fun threads too. Come along and pop on over to the Newbie Pub (at the top of the Newbie forum) and say hi, there's plenty of friendly faces that you can chat with and lots of banter. There's also the Question of the Day threads at the top of the Newbie forum where you can answer random questions.

Don't forget to read the newbie guide, and if you want to know what all the buttons mean check out this thread.
