My name is Shalynn Franzen. 

I am a Writer, an Editor, a Copywriter, a Poet, a Scriptwriter, and quite a bit more. 

As a Writer, I personally love fiction, particularly fantasy. I am working on my own novel. However, I am an accomplished Academic Writer, Journalist, and Technical Writer. Because I got my start in novel writing, any serious or professional work is able to flow beautifully. 

I also am a Copywriter, in that I can write in another’s voice, be it a brand or another author. As an advertising copywriter, I am able to create headlines, taglines, slogans, jingles, and advertising scripts to bring attention or memorability to a brand. As a Content Copywriter, I can create blog posts, social media posts, and articles that match a company’s voice and values. 

I am also a Scriptwriter. I have written small scripts for social posts and advertisements. I have also created audio dramas and gone so far as to fully produce one. Also, there are some musical theater scripts in the works, where I hold the role of Librettist. 

Now, I don’t always have to be the one holding the metaphorical pen. I am a skilled Editor. Just like I write in multiple styles, I also edit in many styles, including fiction, non-fiction, journalism, poetry, and academic writing. I know MLA, Chicago, and AP Style. I have worked as a Proofreader and can read 10,000 words in about 15 minutes. 

Finally, a few miscellaneous things: 

• I have studied classical Latin and ancient Greek, and a little bit of Old English (like Beowulf, not Shakespeare)

• I have studied philosophy, of both eastern and western origin

• I studied under Orson Scott Card and Jeff Benedict

• I played a gnomish monk on my most recent D&D campaign
