About Callie
Get to Know Me
- My husband Sam and I were married in 2011, and we have two sons, Greyson (6) and Stellan (2). We also have a goofy black lab named Sadie and a chinchilla named Rigby.
- I live in Amarillo, Texas. I was born in Texas and have lived here all my life, scattered all over the state. I love it here!
- My favorite beverage is coffee. I prefer it black over ice. I have a cup every morning!
- I am definitely a chocolate aficionado—the darker the better!
- I’ve been a writer since I was six years old. My favorite things to write are introspective poetry and fantasy.
- I adore reading! As a kid, I loved Roald Dahl, Shel Silverstein, and any fantasy adventure I could find. I still love those, but my favorite genres these days are realistic fiction, fantasy, biographies, memoirs, and young adult fiction (my guilty pleasure). My library card gets a lot of use!
- My favorite color is green (if you can’t tell from my website)!
- Some words to describe me: creative, persistent, kind, and patient.

Why I Started Freelancing
My first job out of college was as a secretary in an office. I spent a year there and left the position because I felt underutilized, underpaid, and not challenged. I needed a way to pick the projects I work on and do something I’m really good at to make a difference. I knew freelancing was the way to go, and I haven’t looked back!
I love my job because I’m constantly solving problems and helping people, two things I really enjoy doing. Now that I’m a mom, the flexibility of freelancing is a lifesaver.

Work Experience
I began editing in 2008 for my college’s newspaper and literary magazine, and I started my freelancing business in 2013. Before that, I worked in customer service at a Christian bookstore for five years, and I served on the writing staff of NOW Magazines, a publication serving the southern Dallas-Fort Worth area, from 2012 to 2014 (you can read the articles I wrote here).
