Hi, I’m Elizabeth Howard.

I am a writer, blogger, and Demand Poet.

I am the human being behind Demand Poetry. (Yes, it is very cool. You should really buy one!)

I do, in fact, own and use a typewriter, an Olivetti Lettera (see below). I started out my Demand Poetry business on a light blue Royal which I bought on ebay.  It is pictured on the front of my website. It once belonged to a woman named Nancy Hvalik (her name is written in red marker in the case).

However, I also frequently use a nice MacBook Pro that my husband, Colin, bought me for Christmas. (He is very nice.)

I write poetry and create photography regularly here at “In the Details.”  I manage the weekly column “Sharing Thursday” for the international writing community “Writing Our Way Home,” run by Fiona Robyn and Kaspalita.

I write about the details of our American life on my blog “Letters from a Small State.”

I consult in social media and marketing, and freelance in traditional and new media.

Colin and I lived in London three years, where I worked in a grand old pub, The Warrington Hotel. I started my blogging life there, with Letters from London, and Elsewhere. It’s fun to read that blog sometimes because it’s actually quite bloggy.

In between writing gigs, I am also a full-time wife and mom, with a pop-up camper and a well-stamped passport.

I live in Connecticut with my family, but I am a proud Iowan (Go Cyclones!) and I’m always glad to see wide open spaces when I visit home.

I tweet at @smallstate.

If you’d like to reach me about anything — questions, submissions, requests — I’d love to hear from you. Here’s how you can do that!

Thanks for stopping by.
