JBDryden• Show stories

I am a manager by day and an editor by night. I currently work two jobs trying to fund (and fuel) my passion for writing.

I graduated with a degree in Creative Writing from UWM, with a minor in both history and editing & publishing. I have worked as a copy editor, desk editor, and managing acquisitions editor for a few publications. I currently work as a freelance editor and publisher. My company websites are:

I'm very interested in mentoring young and amateur writers polish their work and improve their craft. That being said, I am truly passionate about the writers workshop that I run twice a month in Milwaukee.

I'm always open to talking to people, so please feel free to message me any time.

    Hi JBDryden;

    My Username is -CactusJack- and everyone on the site simply calls me Jack. I would like to welcome you to the StoryWrite web site. Our site is a community of people who all share a common desire to write, in some form or another, and to hopefully become a published author sometime in the future.

    You may notice a gold medal by your name. This is a free trial membership. This shows you what options you have if you were a paid member of Storywrite.com. After one week the membership expires and you become a regular member.

    I would also like to take this time to let you know about the new members group on the site. This group was set-up to show you how to post your work onto the site and to give you an understanding of how the reading/reviewing of your work actually happens on the site. If you have not already done so, I would suggest you take a peek into this group and see how this process works. http://storywrite.com/group/info/New+members+group

    Along with a new members group we have a New Members Contest. Tis the holiday season. http://storywrite.com/contest/3095

    It is recommended that all new members to the site give serious consideration to joining a writing group as a method of assisting them in becoming an active member of the site. It is a place to make new friends and get helpful critiques.

    I have include below a few quick tips that have proven to be very helpful to new members in doing some of the basic functions necessary to get yourself set-up and running on the site. There are some very helpful and entertaining columns on the home page.

    One in particular is fun things to do around Storywrite http://storywrite.com/column/show/161

    To find all the emoticons http://storywrite.com/column/show/53

    Chatterbox conduct. http://storywrite.com/column/show/57

    Trolls or Cyberbullies http://storywrite.com/column/show/151
