Background
Information
|
|
Reading books ever since early childhood motivated me to become a writer. With a fertile imagination, my characters beg to be acknowledged. Freelanced for a NJ weekly; editor of a S. Florida publication for eight years, freelance to magazines and newspapers. Created an e-zine in April of 2007--The Infinite Writer (http://mysite.verizon.net/resockeb/e-zine). This zine is geared to writers, with contributors such as Marshall Frank, Raleigh Pinskey, Jerry D. Simmons, and many more. We are presently serving a circulation of 1400/mo with more added every day.
Studied Creative Writing and Journalism. Realized my dream of publishing a book. Am presently a writer's group leader, and conference coordinator. The 4/1/07 one-day writers conference in New Port Richey was a blast and a huge success. In the offing, the second annual Pasco/NPR writers conference, Sunday, April 6, 2008. Advance online registration will be available on the FWA Blog in January: http://mysite.verizon.net/resockeb. Eight workshops, two literary agents (NY), come to the blog for more information.
