Carmen BronstonFlower Mound, TXMA in Creative Writing from Ivy League Institution, Published Author
I have enjoyed writing ever since I was a child, and although I held a knack for science and majored in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in undergrad, my creative bent and love for writing drove me to go on and obtain a Master's degree in Creative Writing from Dartmouth College. A highlight of my time in grad school was the creative writing summer intensive at Oxford University Exeter College that I was selected to attend.
Since then I've published a fiction novel entitled /Call of the Song Sparrow/, and I've had some of my poetry published in journals/anthologies. I truly enjoy the proofreading and editing process that goes in to fine-tuning a finished work--whether it be an essay, a report, creative writing, or some other form of written work. During grad school, I worked as co-editor for the MALS Quarterly Journal, assisting those who had pieces selected for publication in editing and re-working their pieces so that they were publication-ready. Additionally, I have assisted other authors in the editing and revision processes for their books and short stories prior to publication.
I have always enjoyed working with students; during an undergrad exchange program at Spelman College, I volunteered in a fourth grade classroom at M. Agnes Jones Elementary as a student aide twice a week. Working alongside the students, helping them understand concepts in science was not only rewarding, but also a growth opportunity for me that allowed me to learn how best to present potentially "boring" information in a fun, comprehensible way that young minds could most readily grasp.
