Hello,
I’m Grant Patterson
I’m a writer, webmaster, SEO strategist, communications and social media manager, and game designer. I recently graduated from the liberal art school, Taylor University, with a Bachelor of Science in Professional Writing. My education allowed me to grow not only as a writer but in all the avenues that writing could take me. I even ended my college career with a paper on how to easily implement SEO changes into a website.
Also, I understand the name Grant Patterson and working in writing brings to mind another famous author, but I am not related to James Patterson, please stop asking.
Over the years I have done a variety of things for a variety of purposes. Below is a wide collection of the things that I am most proud of and my commentary on them. Though I will not publish full stories here (as I might publish them again in a few years), I will talk about the contents of the stories and provide links to full articles if available.
