WELCOME TO MY RYZE PAGE! It's a pleasure and an honor to have you enter my humble abode. Please step inside, take off your coat, and grab the comfortable chair.

My wife Holly and I live with our dogs Lady and Scotty in the North Carolina hamlet of Rural Hall, known as the Garden Spot of the World.

I was a career newspaper writer and copy editor, working at nine newspapers over 30 years, and now I'm a full-time freelancer. My freelance credits include the Miami Herald, the Baltimore Sun, the Washington Post, The Sporting News' auto-racing preview editions, and Sports Illustrated (a short basketball story). My third book, Angel in Black: Remembering Dale Earnhardt, Sr., was published March 1, 2008 by Cumberland House Publishing of Nashville, Tenn.

I'm a terrific copy editor and a good writer, desktop publisher and photographer. My TG Writer logo is an example of my desktop publishing.

If you're a writer or editor of a publication, I can be your best friend. My strengths include tightening, focusing and improving copy. Plus fact checking.

As a writer, I'm concise and precise. I say a lot in few words, and my stories make you feel that you were there. You'll feel the heat off the car's engine or see the driver's bright-red scarf.

You can learn a bit more about me at http://www.google.com/profiles/tgilli52#about. And you're welcome to visit and join my Freelance Writers & Editors network on Yahoo at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FreelanceWriters-n-Editors/.

You are welcome to contact me through via email (nc3022 at yahoo.com) or via a private message.

Thanks again for visiting my page. Write on.
