I’m CeliaSue Hecht: writer, editor, seminar leader, publicity consultant and spoiler of a polka dot princess named Cici who I rescued.

I have a website where you can learn more about my writing life. And if you like this blog, which certainly involves writing and editing, I hope you’ll go there, check out my credentials, and hire me to work for you.

But before I send you away, here’s a bit more background about me.

I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Communications/Education from Florida Atlantic University; edited various newspapers and newsletters for nonprofit organizations;  written hundreds of articles for 40+ publications, co-authored five romantic travel guides, assisted various authors in getting their manuscripts published, typed and edited movie and TV scripts in Hollywood, transcribed Barbra Walters’ interviews with luminaries such as Ronald Reagan and obtained publicity and promoted events for clients such as best-selling authors, doctors, entrepreneurs, CEO’s, CPA’s, seminar leaders and speakers.

I had two cats for five years, worked for Best Friends Animal Sanctuary and led a fairly nomadic (traveled around the world to Bangladesh, Canada, England, France, Germany, Holland, India, Israel, Thailand from 1987-89 with an interfaith prayer ministry) but dogless life until 2007, when I rescued Cici, my diva dog. Having an adorable canine (4 year old Dalmatian and pit bull terrier) who attracts tons of attention, mostly positive, but on occasion negative, due to her so-called pit bull terrier nature, I have had challenges which I rant and write about.

To put it lightly.

I have researched about pit bulls and met three of the former Michael Vick’s dogs. I have been known to obsess about dogs and pit bulls.  I have contributed dog stories to such publications as Bay Woof, Salem News, Pet Folio magazine, in Reno, Nevada, Best Friends magazine and others.

Now I write regularly every day. And I write this blog. But while dogs and travel are my passions, along with chocolate, I still do a good deal of dog-free and travel-free writing and editing. Such as writing ebooks about financial topics and assisting wanna be authors in getting published.
