Righting writing, issue by issue

Donnita Nesbit Fisher

I'm not a writer. I'm a journalist. There's a difference. 

A writer tells his or her own stories while a journalist tells the stories of others. I've been telling other people's stories most of my life. It's a job I take seriously

I understand the pressure a newspaper editor faces today and can help you when you need an extra reporter in a hurry, a fill-in for vacations and emergencies, a different perspective for a special section or an extra pair of hands to get pages designed and sections out.
