About Me

Kimberly
I teach Composition and Literature at a university in Chicago. I'm also a writer for Suite101.com, and I do a good bit of freelance writing projects: SEO website content, magazine articles, marketing collateral, dissertations, and newsletters—for academic, technical, and corporate audiences. So if you need someone to write, edit, or proofread, drop me a line. To see some of my work, check out this blog; some of the recent pieces I've written are posted here.
