About Me
Frances is a writer and legal type who moved to Atlanta from Boston via New York City and Beijing. She can read an instruction manual in Spanish and hail a cab in Chinese. If you don’t think these are useful skills you are wrong.
Frances’ favorite Supreme Court Justice is Ruth Bader Ginsberg. Her favorite legal subjects are copyright, trademark and Internet law. She cares about the rights and responsibilities of citizen journalists and citizen bloggers as well as artists who use their computers to publish or pursue their creative endeavors online including visual art, music, photography and even food. Frances would love to work for you or with you. Send a note to francesablogs at gmail.dot.com to tell her what you need or set up a time to talk.
Frances used to write about television for a living and has the ability to watch and type and talk on the phone at the same time. She also worked at MTV and has much to say about this experience but will boil it down to this: everyone is shorter and not as hip as they appear.
Follow Frances on Twitter. She posts about current events, Gossip Girl, Project Runway, Anna Wintour, Mad Men, movies, books, music, adventures in cooking, policy and law. She’s happy to follow you so long as you are not a spammer, stripper or skeevy marketing type flogging a self-help book or money making scheme.
When Frances isn’t working, she can be found reading, going to the movies and hanging out with her smart, funny and fabulous friends. She also suffers from chronic wanderlust and she’s traveled from Toronto to Tibet and back again. One of her favorite memories is the the little Chinese grandmother who chased her down the street to renegotiate after trying to sell her lovely things at crazy high prices. She has a black belt in negotiation (you can look it up) and is not afraid to use it.
A Boston native, Frances is a lifelong member of Red Sox Nation. She dreams of afternoons at Fenway, summers on the Vineyard, tangy spicy green beans from Chef Changs and listening to her iPod on the banks of the Charles.
