About Me
Author of The Freelancer Manifesto and founder of the Copywriter Cafe community. My artist wife and I live in a restored farmhouse built in 1720, and when we're not creating art and writing, we're exploring all that New England has to offer.

Favorite Word:

wanderlust
Ever since I backpacked across Europe for three months at the age of 22, I've had a serious case of wanderlust that won't go away. I hope it never does.

Least Favorite Word:

literally
Most people misuse and overuse the word "literally." I wish it would go away.
