About the Writer

My name is Arwen Taylor. I am a professional writer and entrepreneur. You could say I was born to be a writer. With a mother who writes poetry and a father who writes horror fiction (both, as yet, unpublished) you could say I didn’t have a chance to be anything else. Lucky for me, I love a good story. Books, movies, even music holds a peculiar fascination for me. Even more, I love telling a good story.

To me, writing is like sex. You tease the reader with a sensuous introduction that hooks them. Then, with each paragraph, you build their excitement higher and higher until they are begging for the story’s resolution (appropriately named the climax) after which you cuddle with each other in rosy afterglow through the ending. If you do it right, when all is said and done they’ll want you to tell them story after story until you’re both tapped out.

Mm, good times.

Anyway, though I’ve been writing and studying the craft since grade school, most of my efforts have been in the arena of fiction writing. However, unless you are J.K. Rowling, fiction writing does not pay the bills. Most times you can consider yourself well paid if you get a contributor’s copy of the magazine your story is published in.

Since I love eating and having a roof over my head, I’ve been working “real jobs” for the past 18 years. But all wasn’t lost. Several of these jobs allowed me to flex my creative muscles and produce different types of written material such as training manuals, newspaper ads, and sales brochures. After getting a taste of paid writing (sort of), I decided to grab the mouse by the ears and make a daring escape from the rat race by becoming a freelance writer. In 2007 I started my independent publishing company Omnithinker and have since been selling articles privately and at websites such as Constant-Content, Associated Content and Triond.

One thing I’ve learned being on the internet is that your success on the web is directly proportional to how well you can capture and hold the attention of web surfers. A proven strategy for attracting the people you want to sell to is to feed them high quality content that entertains them, educates them or both. Like stray animals, they’ll just keep coming back for more. This, unlike that twitchy cat that scratches at your back door, is a good a thing.

As a Philomath, my obsession with learning has motivated me to become well versed in a variety of topics such as business, web site design, marketing, health, entrepreneurship and social networking. Like a collision of peanut butter and chocolate, my love of writing combined with my passion for learning created a delicious combination that allows me to produce articles that gets results.

Though my specialty is informational and search engine optimized articles, I am open to the challenge of producing other content such as press releases and ebooks. I promise that I will work hard to produce an awesome product fit for publication and make any and all revisions necessary until you are satisfied.
