Hello! My name is Wanda Freeman. I’m a lifelong writer with more than 20 years of professional experience in journalism and marketing and a master’s degree in creative writing.
My freelance, staff and creative works have won national, regional and local awards. I work in print, audiovisual and online media.
I live in Greensboro, North Carolina.
From 2013 through 2016, I was marketing editor at the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith, where I managed all marketing-related editorial content, including promotional and recruitment materials and our departmental website. I created our AP-based editorial style guide.
While at UAFS I served twice as interim editor of the Bell Tower alumni magazine and contributed features to several issues.

As features editor of the Northwest Arkansas Times, where I worked 2001-04, I hired and supervised two feature writers and managed publication of What’s Up! and the Sunday Living section. I won several awards for works done at NWAT, including my weekly op-ed column Speaking Freely and a Sunday lifestyle feature, “All in the Familie.”
