I'm a reporting veteran who got out of the newspaper world just as it was tanking. For the last eight years, I've somewhat worked for myself, with a few "day jobs" here and there. Three years ago, I started thinking of writing as my business and officially became a business owner when I started Hegman Editorial.

Now, I help small business owners and authors create and maintain their online presences. My first book, Trials of an Entrepreneurial Virgin, was released in October 2012. It chronicles my "trials" as a creative person figuring out the business world. My next book, Moving at the Speed of Twitter, is slated for release in June 2013.
