Agony, Powder Monkey A Sandy Grave, and
Dee and Deb, Off They Go. She writes,
moms and is the Editor-in-Chief for Guardian Angel Kids and owner of Author PR
Services.
Terry’s passion for writing spans her
life-time. She began her first journal in 1971 on a cross-country family
vacation, and hasn't stopped writing in 30 years! She spent nearly 20 years as
a research analyst, supervisor and analytical program manager with the federal
government. Each of these roles called on her extensive skills in research,
analysis, writing, editing and interpersonal communication. In May 2002, Terry started her
own consulting company that provides research and writing services. As the
Senior Editor for Moms in Print, she offered reviews and detailed comments on
EVERY manuscript submitted for consideration. In 2003 she launched the
Reading Tub(r). What started as a hobby project became a full-fledged,
accredited 501c3 in less than a year! She partners with other non-profits to
provide at-risk readers with the tools they need to become successful students
and citizens.
We look
forward to your visit. Thank you!
