  • Freelance Writer

    • Online

    As a freelance writer, I created English Literature lessons for Study.com, an online education resource. These lessons were 500 - 1,000 word pieces on a specific topic such as foreshadowing in "Moby Dick," a plot summary of Act 2 of "Midsummer Night's Dream," or the importance of names in "The Old Man and the Sea." Lessons required research and academic knowledge of the source material. They also included questions that covered the presented material and carefully sourced images to enhance the text. Creating content for Study.com required following their guidelines for wiki formatting and writing style to create a cohesive voice.
