Clear, Concise and Creative. The Way Writing Should Be.
Debbie Glade, Freelance Writing
Background
Ever since Debbie earned her Bachelor’s degree in Creative Writing from Florida State University in 1983 she has been researching and writing for many different organizations. Long before the internet, Debbie spent many hours at libraries conducting research for cruise lines in order to write hundreds of travel brochures and shore excursions that included information about the history, cultures, religions and sights of many destinations around the world.
In 2008 she started her own publishing company, Smart Poodle Publishing, which has published and recorded on CD, the children’s picture book, The Travel Adventures of Lilly P Badilly: Costa Rica. It won a National Book Award from USA Book News in the category of Children’s Picture Book Fiction with Audio. http://www.usabooknews.com/bestbooksawards2008.html Today she participates in author visits at schools, libraries and charitable organizations around South Florida. She blogs daily and created a weekly comic strip called Smart Poodle. She also writes books reviews for LA Parent Magazine and is the Geography Awareness Editor at Wandering Educators, writing travel articles and reviewing travel-related books and guides. Currently she is writing for a pharmaceutical company as well.
Her experience is unique because she has had a great deal of knowledge from a marketing angle, having worked on both the corporate side and as a freelancer.
