Who are you?
Thanks for asking! I’m Nicholas De Marino, a former journalist and entrepreneur, current writer and English teacher, and aspiring raconteur and bon vivant.
No, seriously, who are you?
If you want a résumé, try LinkedIn or whatever.
Some bullet points:
-Freelancer, mostly music reviews and interviews. Columnist for a pet magazine. Content farms online.
-Beat reporter and interim assistant editor for newspapers in Wyoming and Arizona. Lots of Associated Press reprints, mostly profiles.
-Founding publisher and editor of 5enses Magazine, an alt monthly print publication. Science fiction legend Alan Dean Foster was our flagship columnist, which was pretty cool. I think the publication is still around.
-English teacher, kids and adults, in person in Europe, Asia, and North America. These days I teach online.
Why is this page here?
First, to share resources with students. Second, to flog my writing.
Anything else?
Yeah! Sign up for the newsletter. Please. It’s a big deal. You’ll get a monthly update about new content and ongoing projects. I’ll try to make it amusing.
Also, here’s an interview I did for The Mile High Show with Matt Santos (the journalist, not the president) in 2015. It’s mostly about 5enses but includes plenty of mostly true biographical titbits.
