Hire Me

I’m versatile, available and nice. It’s like I’m not even real.

Freelance Writer and Blogger

I have been writing since I was 14 years old and can’t seem to stop. I’m available to write about parenting, marriage, culture, religion, going green, writing, blogging, social media and many other topics either once or on a regular basis.  I can also write about your business or product for your website.

Examples of my work include Richmondmom.com, Romp n’ Roll, BlogHer.com and Mamapedia.  I will happily provide a complete list of articles with all available links by request.

If you’re interested in my writing, please email me at alex@lateenough.com.

Teacher and Consultant

I teach individuals and small businesses how to set up blogs and social media sites including Twitter accounts and Facebook pages as well as fine-tuning already established sites. My goal is to answer your questions, make suggestions and explain the inner-workings of your blog and social media accounts well enough that you won’t need me anymore.

I offer:

• One-on-one tutoring on blogs, websites and social media for individuals interested in blogging for fun, for business or a little bit of both.
• Website and blog fine-tuning including the best setup and practices for interaction and social media integration.
• Consultation on the best business social media and website practices and why blogging, Facebook or Twitter may (or may not) be right for you business.
• I teach the Art of Blogging: Technical Side which takes the student from no website or a minimal website to a working blog, Facebook and Twitter page in 4 classes or about 10 hours. I was teaching it at the Visual Arts Center in Richmond. I am in the process of revamping how and where I offer it.

Please email me for specific rates and availability at alex@lateenough.com.  I can do Skype as well as local blog tutoring.

Speaker and Facilitator

I am available as a guest speaker or facilitator for blogging, writing, social media or parenting groups:

• I spoke at WordCamp Richmond, a day-long WordPress conference, in 2011.
• I spoke on the panel for Social Media, Moms and Marketers for the Social Media Club of Richmond in 2011.
• I spoke at a Nonprofit Learning Point class at Virginia Commonwealth University on the power of blogging and social media for nonprofits interested in having a strong Internet presence in 2011.
• I created and facilitated a local moms group, Nobody Told Me!, through the non-profit Commonwealth Parenting from 2010-2011. Although I stepped down as a facilitator, the class continues to thrive there.
• I have been a guest speaker at various local pregnancy groups.

Reviews and Giveaways

I run my reviews and giveaways almost exclusively on my collaborative review site, This Blogger Makes Fun of Stuff.

Accolades and Testimonials

One-on-one-training with Alex was superb! After her initial basic instruction on how to create my own blog website, I would email her issues I wanted to cover prior to our sessions. When I arrived, she was always prepared and quickly brought me up to speed in areas where I needed help. She is well worth her fee, because the instruction is tailored to the individual instead of generalized training that a group class would offer. I enthusiastically recommend Alex for all your blogging needs. (After I sent her a thank you email, she followed up with: “You’re welcome! I cannot fully put into words how helpful you were!”) – Old G.A.L.

Alex’s blogging class inspired me to start my own blog. Her sense of humor and attention to detail kept me focused, and with me that isn’t an easy task. Alex even found time to take it one step forward in one-on-one tutoring sessions. In either case, working with Alex was a rewarding experience. – Joel

I first found out about Alex through her blog, LateEnough.com, and began to follow her with much interest. Her writing is insightful, humorous, touching, and most of all: real. Approaching Alex to write for my site, Richmondmom.com, was a no-brainer, as we have similar audiences (although my audience is locally based) and her content fits right in. Alex has created fantastic blog posts, taking extra time to help promote the work, and Richmondmom.com, via Twitter, Facebook, and on her blog and has truly become a great partner. I’d recommend Alex as a writer/contributor to any publication in a heartbeat. – Kate Hall (Richmondmom.com)

I look forward to hearing from you soon.
