Introduction

I'm a professional writer/editor who has reported nationally syndicated newspaper articles, managed magazines, collaborated with prominent authors, run conferences, supervised editorial departments, and produced educational materials and websites.

Are you primarily a graphic designer, a web designer, a web developer, or a combo? Let us know about your specialty.

I'm primarily a writer and editor, but I've done graphic work and founded a couple of websites for a past employer -- in addition to currently maintaining my own blog-centric WordPress site. I need to learn more about WordPress and web development as well as more about graphic and web design. I'm interested in anything and everything that will make me a better professional communicator and more valuable/relevant to clients and employers. I've been to a couple of Noel and Natalee's MeetUps and have enjoyed them.

Are you more likely to attend a virtual meeting online or an in-person meeting?

Either way, but I prefer in-person. I find virtual meetings a little cold and non-engaging.

Would you pay a small fee for an instructional meeting to enhance your skills? If so, what would you be interested in learning?

Depends on the fee and the topic. I'm interested in web and communication design and related technologies.
