About
Betsy S. Franz
Hello!
I am a freelance writer and photographer specializing
in nature, wildlife, the environment and both humorous
and inspirational human interest topics. My articles
and photographs have appeared in many
publications including Florida
Gardening, Florida Sportsman, E - The Environmental
Magazine, BassTimes, Spirituality and Health, Florida
Wildlife, South Carolina Wildlife, Spaces
and others.
Encouraging others
to get eye-to-eye with nature
As a freelance writer, my goal is to educate and encourage
others to get eye-to-eye with wildlife and nature so
that they will gain the respect necessary to learn how
to Take
Care of Their Share. My primary focus is in teaching
people what they can do in
their own backyards to help encourage and protect
wildlife.
I strive to achieve this goal through my articles, photographs
and websites, as well as working with various local
and national groups and organizations.
I am happy to accept writing assignments on other topics
as time permits.
Background
I have always had a strong interest in both writing
and nature. I began freelance writing for several local
publications in the nineties, including a small newsletter
that I self-published entitled Going For It!!! Helping
You Make Your Life and Your World a Better Place. My
first paid freelance writing assignments began in 1998
and have been building with a pleasantly steady momentum
since then.
Prior to dedicating my time to freelance writing and
photography, my work background included ten years working
at a public library, which provided me invaluable research
skills; and ten years in the computer support department
of a large local electronics firm, which helped improve
both my people and problem solving skills.
Other projects
When I'm not freelance writing or taking photographs,
I devote time to maintaining several websites
to try to help educate and encourage others to
appreciate and protect the natural world around
them. Two of the most popular of those sites are
Project
Backyard Brevard, which was created to help
preserve the beauty of the county in which I live,
and Take
Care of Your Share, which was created to help
preserve the beauty of the rest of the world.
I can also create brochures and materials to help
educate your customers or clients about ways to
protect the local environment from the actions
they take in their own homes and yards.
Please contact me to discuss how I can help your
publication or organization in promoting the appreciation
of nature. For your immediate needs, I have photographs
and articles on many topics. Or I will be happy
to create an article, website or brochure for
your specific needs.
