About Me
My name is Lindsay Oberst, I live in Atlanta, GA, and I love words.
I’m a freelance writer, blogger and journalist who writes about creative, socially-conscious and environmental (for convenience, read: green) topics. Through my writing, I hope to advance and explore topics that do good for our world.
I also write, edit and manage websites, blogs and related for businesses and people using my knowledge of SEO, marketing, social media and beyond. See my Services page.
In addition, I write poetry, flash fiction and other forms of short fiction. I’ve started several novels. I may or may not finish them, or they might become parts of smaller works at some point. I have a writing blog called Word Zeal.
I began to write at a young age by scribbling poems and stories in notebooks of all sizes. In college, I became a journalist writing mostly feature-style stories about music, art and other creative subjects. I also took creative writing classes and wrote poems and fiction stories, as well as some essays. My favorite class was a new media poetry class. I graduated from The University of Georgia with a B.A. in journalism and certificates in creative writing and new media.
Now, I am the arts and living editor and writer for CommonCreativ Atlanta, a publication for creative people. I also blog about art, literary and green culture in Atlanta and all of the US for a blog called CultureMob. I have several other freelance publications I work for as well.
