Renee S.

I am a writer with the ability to write in multi-voices and tones in any genre. Words are my strength and my passion. I have additionally worked as a professional proofreader; co-written, co-directed, and produced an independent award winning horror film; wrote four produced plays; and, wrote a nonfiction novel for my thesis project in graduate school. As a former high school English teacher, I was recognized for detailed and comprehensive curriculum writing, be it for a one-day lesson, a full semester,or school year, or cross-curricular. I understand that precision, communication, and timeliness are of the utmost importance. I will strive to create and/or polish exactly what you wish for your project to be, and will deliver in the time frame that is right for you. I work with integrity and without judgment. In other words, there is nothing off-putting that you can request for your product, such as explicit or adult-oriented material. I understand as well, the importance of voice and tone when it comes to creating a persona for your brand or the style of your book or document. Distinctiveness and originality are valuable. When it comes to fiction and screen play/play writing strengths, my forte is dialog. I am familiar and understand social media in both content and advertising, especially Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. I stay up to date with pop culture and trends. Additionally, I am a professional astrologer who has studied with Chani Nicholas, Adam Sommer, Donna Woodwell, and Benebell Wen. I have a vast knowledge of metaphysical topics, including Reiki, tarot, I Ching, and crystal healing. While I do in person and online astrological reads, I specialize in original comprehensive Natal Chart manuscripts of 50-100 pages in length. My personal interests other than writing and astrology, include film, big cats, punk, alternative, and rock music, and reading in all genres. I have a particular love of David Sedaris, Anne Lamott, Anne Tyler, Ernst Hemingway, and John Irving, as well as.True Crime and mysteries. For stage and screen, I am drawn to Aaron Sorkin, Tennessee Williams, and Quentin Tarantino. For fun I embroider, create handmade junk journals, collage, and study astrology. I have a plethora of pets, 2 adult daughters, twin grandchildren on the way, and once created and drove an art car. *Reporter and editor for the Hedwig Daily News (Houston, Texas; now defunct) *Wrote, edited, and developed a course catalog for Arts a la Carte (fine arts studio) *Wrote, edited, and developed a training manual for box office procedures & ticket automation (Rockefeller’s: The Night Club, Houston, Texas) *Freelance proofreader for Kwik Kopy Corporation in-house documents and training materials *Book editor and proofreader for several historical and religious texts *Presentation of biographical & analytical papers for the International/Pop Culture Conference, “Billie Joe Armstrong: Patriot” and “The Bitchification of Skylar White.” *Co-wrote, co-directed, and produced the award winning independent film “Party Night” in 2016 *Playwright for 1 adult and 3 young adult plays produced in Houston Texas at TheaterLaB Houston, Houston Community College, and the Houston Public Library System. *Writer of the nonfiction novel “All Tomorrow’s Parties” published by University of North Carolina at Wilmington *Curriculum writer for High School English, Reading, and ASL classes in Texas and North Carolina *Created curriculum for fine arts classes at Arts a la Carte and Main Street Theater Summer program *Studied in the University of Houston Creative Writing Department; Graduated from New York Institute of Technology with a BS in English, Behavioral Science, and Humanities with a 4.0 GPA and a master degree in Liberal Studies with a focus in writing at University of North Carolina at Wilmington with a GLS and 4.0 GPA. *Sound and Light Engineer, co-producer, Stage Manager, as well as Jill of all Trades in costume, set design, and guest hospitality for Theater LaB Houston *High School teacher of all levels of English, Reading, and ESL in Texas and North Carolina *Breastfeeding consultant with La Leche League and Harris County Department of Health WIC Program *General Manager and Projectionist for AMC Theatres, Inc. *Proofreader at Gulf Publishing Company in Houston, Texas
