US-based, born & educated solopreneur

I'm an independent writer and solopreneur, with a Master of Fine Arts (MFA - terminal degree) in writing from Brown University (Providence, Rhode Island), several years teaching the art, skills, craft, joys and terror of writing at the university level; and, since 1996, have been the founder/owner of my own company collaborating to create custom content for a variety of readables and collaterals that communicates, including: articles, blogwork, editing, ghostwriting, news releases, proofreading, social media, strategies, tag lines, website content development; and, a tad more entrepreneurial mischief. "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug." ~ Mark Twain "The first step is, simply, everything." ~ jdo |collaborate|communicate|create|(c)

The Entrepreneur Story

HundredDollarBusiness
"The Entrepreneur Story" was Hundred Dollar Business' 2nd project. Intention was to write and sell a book based on how entrepreneurs get started, in order to learn from their experiences. A core group of volunteers helped organize and gather stories from 70 entrepreneurs, and we edited a rough draft within the 30-day time frame and $100 budget. The Entrepreneur Story is the first "profitable" Hundred Dollar Business project.
