All Roads Magazine.
All Roads Magazine is an online home for humans, horror, and heart.
I created and curate an online space that features storytellers at all levels and aims to inspire community, curiosity, and creativity. I oversee and execute all work required to build and maintain this space including, but not limited to, writing original stories and interviews, editing all stories from outside authors to ensure quality and relevancy, sourcing all photography or artwork, editing audio files, posting all content to the website, and managing all social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube).
Not-So-Grimm Tales.
“Not-So-Grimm Tales is a hilarious tongue-in-cheek retelling of classic Grimm fairy tales that feels fresh and contemporary.” - Pioneer Drama Services
For this project, I worked very closely with the playwright as both a copyeditor and creative collaborator. I reviewed various drafts, acted out scenes, and provided feedback on story, characters, set direction, and dialogue.
The play premiered in 2008 at Footlight Players Children’s Theater Camp in Indiana, Pennsylvania. Since then, it’s been performed nearly 50 times and in theaters all over the United States, Canada, Australia, and China. A brief script sample can be found here.
