Craig Patrick is a writer of critical essays, creative nonfiction (personal essay and memoir), and poetry with work published in The Memoirist, Door is A Jar Literary Magazine, Hidden Peak Press, Algebra of Owls, and FORTH Magazine, among other other places. Subject areas of specialty include psychology, creativity, personal development, literary fiction, poetry, music, and cultural criticism.

Craig's writing experience is varied. He has written artist bios, press releases, SEO-friendly product descriptions, website and social media marketing copy, and even revised a few online dating profiles! In his former life as a special education school administrator, he wrote hundreds of Individualized Education Program (IEP) documents for students with a range of learning difficulties. In each case, his goal was the same: to tell the story of a living, breathing human being with strengths, needs, and achievable aspirations.

Craig is open to essay and article writing assignments, guest blogging opportunities, and helping clients revitalize their marketing copy. Above all else, he aims to do seriously good work without taking life too seriously.

Writing Portfolio

Craig stepped in, reworked, and strengthened almost 90% of the words on my site. I feel a whole helluva lot smarter for asking for his assistance. What is great about Craig's approach is that he himself is a very creative individual. Therefore, he brings a sense of empathy and understanding to the intimidating task of communicating oneself to the world.
