Margaret Littman

Nashville, TN

EditorWriterBook Author

Curiosity, skill and luck have allowed me to spend decades exploring eclectic topics ranging from the nutritional habits of female winter Olympians to the lawsuits intended to stop the building of Rio de Janeiro’s Guggenheim Rio museum. I am the author of several successful guidebooks, and have contributed to many others, including three essay anthologies. I love the variety of work I am able to do as a freelance journalist, but I particularly enjoy off-beat business stories, unexpected service features and travel journalism that shows people the gems in their own backyards. I enjoy writing short as much as (or more) writing long, a quality I think serves both my readers and editors well. I seek freelance editing assignments as well as writing assignments.

The first book I wrote won me a Young Authors Award. It was titled "I Don't Want to be Kangaroo Anymore." I came up with the concept. Wrote the words. Heck, I even illustrated the dang book. I was in first grade. I am still working on my next book. Somewhere in between I've managed to get a bachelors in business, a masters in journalism, find true love and create two amazing little humans. I'd like to think I have a decent amount of life experience, but the truth is, just like every other human on this planet, I am forever in "school." Learning as I go. Seeking knowledge to propel me forward. Hoping to share that knowledge with others through words. I love the mystery surrounding an assignment, the confidence to pitch a great story and the gumption to tell a fellow freelance I know he can do better. If you have read this far, you also know I like to write. To balance this flaw, I take on positions editing...because, well, I am admittedly Type-A and mostly left-brained so it full-fills my need to plan, org

Reno, NV

CopywriterEditorWriter

I'm a storyteller, editor, and comms professional. My versatility as a writer has provided me with opportunities to write fiction, creative non-fiction, feature articles (about human cannonballers, no less), lifestyle content, financial content, real estate content, event planning content, fundraising appeals (direct mail and email), magazine/newspaper pitches, and more. In addition to my extensive writing experience outlined above, I have experience writing about tech topics and developing content (white papers, briefing papers, newsletters, webinars) on topics related to the construction and trade union industry. I'm obsessed with the Oxford Comma and can spot a typo a mile away. I'm a lifelong bookworm who dreams of having an in-home library. I pride myself on being a well of useless pop culture knowledge, and can do the New York Times crossword puzzle without Googling (most days)! I’m open to freelance opportunities and can provide a portfolio upon request. I can be reached via email at briannas
