As freelance writer, copy editor and fact checker, I provide and edit content for magazines produced by this design firm, including travel brochures for cruise vacations and a new publication focused on high-end travel lifestyles.

I have also provided several Sun sign and celebrity articles that have appeared through Tarot’s relationship with AOL.com.

August, 2002-May, 2003 Astrologer/Copy Writer
AstroToGo.com
I was responsible for generating most of the content on the AstroToGo.com web site. The site used astrology as a way to entertain and amuse through style, fashion and personal insight. Not only did I write the horoscopes on the site; I also furnished content for our affiliates. The demographics I wrote for ranged from teenagers to 20-somethings, to parents and beyond. I like to blend serious advice with style and humor, and I believe astrology should be written in a way that’s engaging, uplifting and entertaining.
The team at AstroToGo.com also consulted with me about technical, astrology-related issues. My first computerized report, “Sexy You” was launched on the site in February, 2003


October, 1998-October 2001 Astrologer/Writer
