Known for her quirky sense of humor, Wendy has written and
sold greeting card copy, and magnet, button, and key chain slogans to
social expression companies such as Ephemera Inc., Snafu Designs, Kalan,
Rockshots, Plum Graphics, and West Graphics. Wendy has written humorous flash animation scripts and song parodies for Flowgo, Madblast, and Smilepop. She co-wrote the script Lumberjacks, part of a Telly Award-winning children's

the premiere writers' guide The Writers Handbook.
An avid vintage clothing and accessories collector, she is

her dual life as a freelance writer and vintage purse aficionado, Wendy was
named one of America's Most Unique Characters in USA Network's Show Us Your
