Gracie's Bio

Hi, folks. I’m a graduate of Bard College with a BA in Creative Writing and Human Rights. Since graduating last year I've worked as a freelance editor on a bunch of crazy projects because I truly enjoy reading what others create. Working here at Bleacher Report as a staff editor and intern trainer has been rewarding, but more so a great deal of fun!

I grew up in rural Maine and because my loyalties have always fallen along regional lines, I just can't help but root for the Pats and Red Sox—it's in my blood. However, my work with Bleacher Report has me very much interested in the EPL. A whole new world of sports has come alive for me.

Additionally, I write for Orange Life (an arts and culture magazine), and my poems have appeared or are forthcoming in 2River, Caketrain, Fourteen Hills, elimae, and Openned.

Thanks, all, for writing as much as you do! You feed my need to read.

Hi Gracie, I'll like to thank you for fixing my work, and upgrading my stories. But even more so, I wonder if you would be interested in joining me at sportsnation, a blog site I have established a year ago.

If you are interested, let me know, thanks!

If you're going to do nothing but remove tags from my articles, or tweak my headlines in a way that doesn't help at all, please don't bother editing them. I have gone back and un-edited headlines and added back appropriate tags on multiple occassions today. Thanks.

Gracie, my article needs a new title, could you please change it to Can Jon "Bones" Jones Break Matt "the Hammer" Hamill? Thanks, as always I appreciate your assistance. Grandma Dee

Hey Gracie,

As you've known for quite some time, formatting my work to b/r standards is a personal weakness. Always appreciate your patience and help!

Hi Gracie, thanks for the edits, but why would you capitalize the word "is" in my headline ("Come To Think of It: Felix Hernandez Is in for a King's Ransom")?

Thanks for the edit. I'll try to keep the headline style in mind in future articles.

Thanks for the edit on my 2009 Wild Card Races article. I have been to Maine once in 1957 to see my uncle and aunt who live in Greene, Maine. My uncle died at 91 but my aunt is living in Gardner, Maine if I remember the name right.
