Straigh From Hel

Helen Ginger is an intelligent, caring, versatile person who keeps busy with her writing career. She pens the blog, "Straight from Hel" with insight and humor. From her web site:

I’m a freelance editor, book consultant, and writer. I teach public speaking as well as writing and marketing workshops.

In addition, my free ezine, Doing It Write!, http://helenginger.com/diw.htm, which goes out to subscribers around the globe, is now in its ninth year of publication.

I'm also an Owner/Partner and the Women’s Marketing Director for Legends In Our Own Minds®. http://www.legendsinourownminds.com/

Of course, what I get asked about most often are my three years as a mermaid at Aquarena Springs. Swimming with a shimmery tail, picnicking underwater, performing synchronized ballet, blowing air bubbles ... all year round, even in the winter.

I'm actively involved in the writing community. I was the Executive Director of the Writers' League of Texas from 2003 - 2005. Currently, I serve as a Committee Chair for the Texas Book Festival, and volunteer as a gift wrapper for the Bess Whitehead Scott Scholarship fund.
