Thank you for stopping by my professional website. My name is Bev Walton~Porter and I am an author, freelancer, editor and writing coach. I'm pleased to have you here! Feel free to drop me an e-mail at any time. I love making new friends and getting to know fellow/sister scribes! As writers, we're all in this together. I believe it is our mission to encourage one another and share knowledge so we can hone our abilities, overcome our obstacles and emphasize our strengths as writers. From novice to professional, we all have something to contribute to our craft.

On this site, I've listed information, articles and resources for writers of all experience levels. New articles will be posted on a quarterly basis. The list of writing resource links will expand as time allows. If you find a broken link, please let me know! Be sure to check back often for updates.

In addition, I have posted information about my books, Sun Signs for Writers (Writer's Digest Books), Mending Fences and Hidden Fire, written under the pen name of Star Ferris (Whiskey Creek Press). I am also a co-author of The Complete Writer: A Guide to Tapping Your Full Potential (Red Engine Press).

Again, thank you for taking the time to visit my site. May the Muse within continue to bless your writing efforts!

Sincerely,

Bev Walton~Porter
Colorado Springs, CO
