Linda Kastiel Kozlowski, Neighbor

For over 25 years, writing has woven itself into every job I’ve held. It’s shown up in the obvious places, like advertising copy and new product releases. It has also snuck in where I least expected to feel its impact, in ongoing email campaigns to key publications and in pitches to bosses on a new direction I was headed.

In the last 10 years, as I’ve branched out into freelance work, I have seen writing pave the way for me to gainfully explore, where previously only my imagination would wander. From the musings over my depressed cat, to my outrage at Big Tobacco’s pursuit of my 11 year old son, writing became my passion, not just my paycheck. I'm honored to be able to contribute to my local Patch, the things I'm currently passionate about!
