: About Me

Hello!

My name is McKayla, and I'm a sophomore Creative Writing and German Literature major at the University of Hartford. I used to write only in my spare time or for classes, but with the job market in its current state, I couldn't get a summer job! Now, I'm writing as much as possible, and trying to make a little bit of money for school books at the same time.

Together with my boyfriend, I run the website www.writersinlove.com, a site dedicated to editing and freelance writing. Please check us out!

I'm also interested in Broadway and all sorts of theater and dance, and I love animals. Anything else, just ask!
