My name is Mike DeVine, and I love to write.<\/h2>\n

I’ve got experience writing for blogs as well as journalism, creative fiction, and marketing. In addition to maintaining several project blogs over the past several years, I currently run my own personal blog, Paper Awesome (which you’re visiting now!). I have experience with CMS (WordPress\/Blogger) management, SEO optimization, social media integration and management, and brand awareness campaigns on both small and big business levels. In addition, with my bachelor’s degree in New Media I have the back-end and front-end programming skills necessary to add tricky custom functionality to a blog or site, and to debug if problems arise.<\/p>\n
