I'm a writer near Raleigh, North Carolina who's passionate about farms, food, and finance

My writing business has grown in new directions over the years in response to market demands and seasons of life. I never thought that I'd love anything as much as writing, but in 2017 I completed the 11-week Chatham County Beekeeping School and became a beekeeper. This sparked a chain of related interests like homesteading and permaculture, and naturally connected to my long-time support of local farms and food systems. My magazine writing has surfaced in GRIT, Produce Business, Vegetable Growers News, MarketWatch, and more.
Changes spurred by the pandemic also shifted my offerings. As professional needs have changed, I now use my 20 years of writing experience for book consultations, resume writing and speaking engagements. I speak about writing for magazines, honey and bee business marketing, and many other topics. Many of my anchor clients have been attorneys, so I've written at great length on financial and legal matters, which helps me point business owners to important information on how to handle their money.
As an author, my writing centers around my personal interests. I wrote a book about how to work as a freelance journalist (Magazine Queries That Worked), the first guide to the Bonnaroo Music Festival, and a few poetry books. I currently write short fiction and poetry, and produce a blog about beekeeping, permaculture, and nutrient-dense food.

Tara Lynne is a great teacher and has excellent information to share. The workshop was fun, easygoing and extremely helpful. I recommend her very highly and without reservation.
-Beth Browne, Raleigh, NC Tara Lynne did a great job revising my resume. She interviewed me about my professional experiences and really listened to me. The way she phrased my work experience is better than any career counselor I've used. I feel like my resume not only showcases my work, but makes me personable to employers. I wish I could write like her. -Debra L., Raleigh, NC Thank you for the great work on my resume. I got a position in sales in Washington, DC.
