I joined about 8 years ago after I met Serinia Sedai at DragonCon, but I never got a chance to really get involved. (I was in college and things were a bit hectic.) Now I'm out of school and... things are still a bit hectic. ;)

Despite that, I'm back to try again. I work from home as a part-time editor and proofreader, part-time Marketing Director for a promotional products company, and full-time mom of an 8-month-old munchkin.

As far as Wheel of Time is concerned... I started reading the books in 2005, and I was immediately hooked. I read all the books that were out in about a month that summer, then picked up Knife of Dreams as soon as it was released. I didn't find the fandom until the DragonCon where I met Seri Sedai, but she invited me to JordanCon that April and I've been going ever since. I'm now a member of the JordanCon staff, and I love my WoT family. It's taken me too long to come back to TarValon.net, and I'm excited to finally be here!

I look forward to getting to know you all, and to hang out more with those of you who know me (as Meagan) from JordanCon!

Welcome! I'm so jealous that you're an editor. I did it in college, but I've never really been able to find a way to do it from home. So glad to have you here!

I just got lucky! I met an editor at DragonCon about 5 or 6 years ago in the vendor hall, got to talking to him, then he offered to take my resume back with him to his publisher. I started as a volunteer proofer and worked my way up to a paid gig. I didn't start taking freelance clients until I met an editor at JordanCon a year or two later who told me how she went about it. It's all just networking and patience. (And probably a little luck.) If you ever have any questions, I'll do my best to help if I can!

Thank you so much, everyone! I'm excited to be back. :)

And she's definitely awesome, Leala! I work on her team for JordanCon now, and we all have such a great time.

Hi and welcome, Zuri! Dunno if I've met you at JCon before or not, but I'll be especially sure to say hi this year! :)
