I am a Tampa native, one of the few “true” Floridians (most Floridians are actually imported from cold, northernly places).  Life in Florida has impacted me in ways I never even realized until I travelled elsewhere.
Though the events which led me to switch my major from Biology to English are complicated at best, I learned more about myself in my nearly four years in the University of South Florida’s undergraduate Creative Writing program than I ever imagined I could.  I graduated with my BA in English in 2005, and I am now working on my MA in Rhetoric and Composition.  I have taught Freshman Composition at two different colleges, and am currently teaching one course at a local university and working as an editor for an author here in Tampa.

Sarah Fisher : The Britican Perspective
This editor also manages: Non-Fiction, Guest Blogs, Interviews, Literature Reviews (including Literature I Love, Recommended Reads, and New Reads)
sarahfisher@calliopewriters.com

A Britican: A British American, or American Brit – a citizen of both countries with an invested interest in the politics and culture of each.
I’m a journalist, in my mid-20’s. Currently, I’m a news writer in Malibu, California.
Born in the U.K., my interests are politics, film, literature, music and studying the zeitgeist. I’m an absolute
information junkie, devouring books, magazines, and newspapers but not to the point of missing out on experiencing real life. After all, real life is where one can meet real people and gain real wisdom and perspective.
I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in American Studies from the University of Wales at Aberystwyth. Since then I’ve traveled, spent time working for the Halifax Bank of Scotland, studied at the London School of Journalism, and moved to California to work in Malibu.

Arthur Fisher: Artful Musings
This editor also manages: Fiction, Letters to the Editors, General Editorials, Budding Writers
arthurfisher@calliopewriters.com

My intellectual interests are extremely varied and include: History, Military History, Ancient History, Political History, and World History. For some reason I’ve been referred to as a “history buff’ on occasion.
“But Arthur, you intellectual stallion, what good is a history-nut to a writing website?” I hear you ask.
Well, simply put, history is where my expertise is and it’s what I’m pursuing (eventually) as a career. I’ve written in several Blogs over the years and have developed a writing-niche in satire, both political and social, and I plan to continue developing that with the help of this website.
I also plan on connecting my interest in writing with my interest in history with some historical fiction, which I’ll no doubt post on the site… so keep that edge of your seat warm!
