Elan Potter
Contributing Writer
2010 NAPA Individual Champion and Top Point Female - David Yerby
I have been writing since 1995 on a broad range of topics, including travel, education and gardening. Aside from freelancing, I am professionally active in the field of ESL (English as a Second Language), with experience in both teaching and working for Educational Testing Service, a provider of standardized tests to measure English proficiency.
My fiction and poetry has been published in venues such as Eclectica and Proscenium, and articles have been published throughout the web. Academically, my writing interests have been varied and typically to the left of center. For example, my Master's thesis explores how werewolf imagery is used in the Greco-Roman and Medieval Eras for cultural criticism.
