Jody Reale is an award-winning writer
I write personal essays, columns, one-liners, blogs, speeches, and marketing copy for Web sites, advertisements, and more. My mission is to insert genuine, memorable messages into people's lives using technology, literature, and spoken word
. I'm a champion of literature, a believer that reading can change lives, and a messenger.

At Work

I used to call myself a creative and marketing communications consultant. Today I call myself an entrepreneurial storyteller because I help my clients tell the true stories of who they really are in order to attract the attention of the people who need them.

In Print

My personal essays have appeared in Opium Magazine, BeThreeTuesday ShortsLit.Org, Wazee: New Independent Writing, SFWP.org, Progenitor, North American Review, and many other fine publications.  I'm the author of the book Let's Shave Our Heads and Sell the House: The Step-by-Step Guide for Parents Panicked Over Head Lice. People tell me that it's one of the few helpful resources available on one of the ickiest crises a parent can experience, and it makes the greatest white elephant gift ever.  I'm proud of it on both counts.

Online

Since 2000, my blog, Kill Your Lunch Hour, has been slinging some of my most embarrassing personal details around the world to people who want desperately to procrastinate.  I occasionally get my blog on over at Zwaggle, where I am a community crusader and all-around Zwaggle superfan. Some of my past accomplishments include: contributing to the b5 media blog The Hawaii Traveler, writing  the column "A Broad's Eye View" for Boulder Weekly, and providing the voice of reason, and also the voice of "Jody," at Wedding Sites and Services's Ask Jody.

Beyond

My favorite ongoing projects include organizing and producing Denver's Literary Death Match series , developing my own fledgling line of greeting cards, and designing tee shirts and other merchandise with very unique sentiments. If you haven't had enough, there's more.

Where in the World is Jody Reale?
Besides Boulder, CO, I'm on the Web, of course. For example:
  • At MySpace, we can start using "friend" as a verb, and "add" as a noun. We can trade messages about how I do not need a ride to Burning Man, and how you will not see me on a panel at SXSW.

  • I'm at Facebook, where I used to pretend I was going to accept friend requests only from people I already knew. Then I realized that's what LinkedIn is for.

  • Because I'm highly suggestible, I'm at Twitter with all the other cool kids, where I pretend to answer the question, "What are you doing right now?"
  • Are you dying to invite me to a party, buy something from me, or sell me a drug that has something to do with "enhancement?"  Do it.  I might only have one delete key, but I have ten fingers. My spam filter has a manicure. Does yours?
