Malordy
Tucson, Arizona
I am a writer and editor growing my freelance career in educational publishing. Words are my passion: I've founded an award-winning magazine, taught creative writing and composition courses, edited everything from literary journals to PhD dissertations, and am a recovering social media guru with over a decade's experience in communications and marketing. In every role, I bring a talent for big-picture thinking, detail-oriented execution, and creative collaboration that leads to success and innovation. Check out a sample of the K-8 leveled readers I've authored under "Publications," and be in touch if you are looking for new educational writing talent!
