Big site updates coming soon! (Hooray for better organization and better content!)

 

Welcome!

You've found my virtual lily-pad. From here, you can jump off in many directions, since I like to use this place as a bit of a creative free-for-all. Here you can find:

  • Samples of poetry and prose, both published and unpublished
  • A collection of Whimsies, featuring a stuffed Wooly Mammoth and some seriously strange knitted objects
  • My blog, where I write sporadically and unabashedly about diverse topics such as gay rights and weird hair.

I like to keep my creative life and my business life separate, so you won't see much about me professionally here. However, I work as a copy editor and a data-entry assistant on a freelance basis. If you are working on a project and need some budget-priced assistance, I would be happy to lend my eye and my time to your project. Please contact me at marian.firke[at] gmail.com and we can discuss your needs.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you like it.
Cheers,

Marian

 

P.S. Please excuse the dust in the corners of this site. As it gets restructured things tend to get broken. C'est la vie.
