Publish me

"Ms Burden" is how I sign my literary work and other pieces of my insanity, daydreams, or deviations which are expressed many times in the shape of poems, photos, and such. My real name is Laila Chris. I am actually a Brazilian ESL teacher, certified Journalist, translator, and a writer as human necessity. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in 'Social Communications' with a minor in 'Journalism' from UEL - State University of Londrina (Brazil) and in 'Liberal Arts' with a minor in 'Creative Writing' from SPC - Saint Petersburg College (USA). I have been currently running a private language school in Caxias do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul state (Brazil) called PBF since December 2002.

After finishing college in Brazil, in 1998, I decided to live abroad, in order to fully learn another language, attend a complementary course for my academic education process, and get to know a different culture. I ended up majoring in Liberal Arts with a minor in Creative Writing. I lived in Saint Petersburg, USA, for five years (98 ~ 02). I took my second degree there. Now, I've just turned 38, got a business of my own, been married for 16 years, and I've decided to live back in my home country for good. All my personal goals have been nearly accomplished. Adding to that, I've got hundreds of manuscripts and 'almost' nothing published.

Am strongly seeking for a publishing opportunity in any local or international media, being electronic or hard-printed editorials, either temporary or permanently. Notice that I'm an agent-free writer and maybe that is why I write intensely. I have got two ongoing book projects: a poetry one and a fiction novel and have recently launched a ¹book of shorties intended for ESL learners entitled "American Jokes in Simple Language."

My experiences in journalism toward entertainment news and short story writing led me to the artistic literary practice. Through my education background, abilities, and desire to work, I believe I can be very useful to any edtiorial project.

I look forward to hearing from any publisher/editor to further discuss about any possible independent publication of my manuscripts, as well as my participation in any compilation through translating and/or developing versions. However, if you have no connections with this kind of business or you do, but you've thought I am no worth being read... You all can kiss my giant ass because I will keep blogging anyway. I don't mind being a semi-problogger.

On the other hand, if you feel at least a tiny little dust of interest in knowing my work, leave a comment.
