Professional Experience

After 10 years as a stay-at-home super mom, I went to Savannah College of Art and Design and earned my MFA in Writing and restarted my writing career. I have spent almost two years as a successful well-published freelancer covering everything from celebrity features, to weddings, home design, SEO writing, blogging, and personal essays. I have a gift for storytelling and finding a unique way to bring personal emotion to the page. You can view my writing samples at www.kimwade1.com.

Traveler's Rest
(Savannah Magazine Homes 5/1/2013)
A Savannah businesswoman teams with local designers to transform her tiny cottage into a high-end getaway.
Let it Grow
(Savannah Magazine 11/1/2012)
Leave the fake snow in the can and spruce up your imported traditions with some authentic Savannah style. As you might expect from a woman named Holley, the co-author of the new book "A Savannah Christmas" is not only an expert gardener and floral designer-she's also the Grinch's worst nightmare.
A Lady After Midnight
(Savannah Magazine 3/1/2013)
I spent an evening with "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" star Lady Chablis at the iconic Club One in Savannah, GA. The Lady opened up to me about everything from her past as a gay, black man in Savannah to her thoughts on womanhood and marriage.
Finding Faith
(Savannah Morning News 12/25/2013)
I spent an evening at a meeting for Compassionate Friends, a support group for grieving families. What I discovered was not a group of grieving parents, but a group of individuals bound by shared grief searching for a way to help others.
