Hello everyone,

Just heard about this site from my aunt who is a beta-reader and thought I would take a look around to see what it's like.

My name is Libby and I am a Writing Coach by day and when I am motivated, a write my own literary fiction, usually with a historical theme to it. I also occasionally write poetry.

I have a MFA in creative writing and volunteer as an editor for Spout Press, A quirky literary press.

My aunt recommended this site to me because she though I might be of help to others and that I might make a good connection with a few people who would then be willing to swap work with--even editors need editors sometimes.

Looking forward to looking around and seeing what this site is all about.

Cheers,
Libby
