Writer-New Projects
As mentioned in the "About" section, Bridgette is very divers in her art, speaking and communication. This diversity translates to her writings. A perpetual documenter, she loves experiential writing. Bridgette focuses on working through difficulties, spending time researching, and putting processes into practice life and art, and writing about these things inspires her.
While there are many of her published works listed on the "Published Works" page, the list is not complete. Finding opportunities to write about her passions has led to multiple publication of both articles and books. With some luck and the right agent, she hopes to expand that list.
Publicity and marketing come naturally to a few. You rarely have the package of creativeness, business savvy, and marketing manager rolled into one person, but Bridgette has learned to intertwine all three in her process. Publicity is one are Bridgette does well. She enjoys the challenge of finding places to promote her work. For more information visit the "In The News" section of this website.
