Autorenporträt
Hi, I'm Megan Schreiber-Carter. I grew up in the Allegheny Mountains, a northern division of the Appalachian Mountain Range, along the eastern U.S.. My siblings and I were the third generation of our family in a small, old town full of history and surrounded by the forests of Elk County, Pennsylvania. Our grandfather, who came from a large family of lumberjacks, was the first judge in the county. Our parents were teachers and our father was a WWII veteran, as well as our Borough's Manager.I studied writing, at the University of Pittsburgh, and earned a Master's in Journalism, at American University in Washington, D.C.. I also completed the Warner Brothers' Sitcom Workshop. Then, I grew up some more. I'm a writer of many genres--I've developed, written and produced award-winning documentaries for Discovery Networks and National Geographic; I've written and produced commercial spots for radio; and, for print, I've written news, feature, non-fiction book proposals, ghostwriting, award-winning promotional copy, fiction, and creative non-fiction. The creative writing is my favorite, and I'm currently completing a collection of short stories, called "Mostly-True Stories," as well as a series of fictional novels. Recently, at the Downtown Writing Studio, in Fredericksburg VA, I read a stand-alone excerpt, from the fictional novels, called "Thanks fer Shootin' Danny." I've taught at American University, George Washington University, The University of The District of Columbia, The International Center for Language Studies, and as a Calvert home-school teacher when my child was in kindergarten and first grade.?One of our family's businesses is The State Theatre, a restored, historic theatre, inside the D.C. beltway, that presents music and other events. My family and I live in a wooded area along the Potomac River, near D.C.. We also spend time along the RI shore and in my hometown, in Elk County, PA.My other interests include living with a pleasant dog, being out of doors, reading great stories to myself or aloud, capturing photos, enjoying great food and drink, using herbs and oils, drawing, painting, singing, having time to think, engaging in good conversation, and sitting by the fire.?More of my writing may be found at www.megansdesk.net, which I set up to show you some of the remarkable things that come across my desk.?Out here, Megan?Contact Information: Megan Schreiber-Carterwww.megansdesk.netmegan.schreiber@earthlink.netFacebook
