Regular readers may have noticed that I write fewer articles than I used to. I’m very happy to report that is at least partially a result of having earned a certification in grant writing from Seattle Central Community College last fall and interning at Spark the Fire Grant Writing Services during the first quarter of this year. With my training complete, I am now taking on grant writing clients on both an hourly and retainer basis.
Here are links to the articles I wrote that published in March. I hope you find something interesting and useful.

Reading Down a Crooked Road
I finished reading a dozen books in March, including two picture books in Spanish to support my CEFR A2 reading level. Unusually, I only read two nonfiction books – Say It Well, which is about public speaking (but by extension, offers useful advice for writing clearly) and Soil: The Story of a Black Mother’s Garden, a gardening memoir from an African-American poet living in the very white city of Fort Collins, Colorado. Of the fiction books, I have to single out The Queen Underneath, a fantasy book with a fun premise, and the YA book Ex Marks the Spot, both of which I read just because the protagonists are named Gemma.
And that’s March in the books.
