Welcome to DeniseSchipani.com. I've been a writer all my life, and have been paid for the privilege of doing so for, oh, too long to mention (but it's a long time). I started out on typewriters, and working at magazines -- such as Child and American Baby -- that still sent copy out to type-houses and did paste-ups of layouts on giant boards with vellum over the top. These days, of course, it's all about the computer, but I still like to break out my old mechanical pencils and edit the old-fashioned way and use words like "stet." I've worked all over the map -- in New York and in London -- at all kinds of magazines, from parenting to beauty to bridal. I invite you to read my work here -- and then click over to my blog, Confessions of a Mean Mommy Writing about my passionate commitment to raising good children (which sometimes means doing the hard stuff) led to my first book contract; click the "about" tab above for a sneak peak! If you'd like to discuss a project, get more information, or obtain clips, please contact me. | ||
