Lora Shinn

Writer + Photographer

Experience

I wasn’t always a writer. I once helped public library patrons find books, information and other resources.

But since 2008, I’ve applied my research, interview and writing skills to my professional writing career. I generate fresh ideas, source great quotes and work with editors to create the perfect piece. In my articles, I like helping readers find timely, practical and unconventional information for personal use.

I also offer professional photography services for various consumer and trade publications. Please ask to see my portfolio.
