About Linda Klinger

Linda received her first writing award at age seven: She clinched the grand prize in “The Ugliest Bug” contest with her story about a homely—but heroic—insect.

Since then, Linda has successfully tackled topics beyond bugs, authoring more than three thousand articles and fifteen books… at last count.

She has also received dozens of writing and editing awards from institutions such as the Addys, Washington and New York Art Directors Clubs, and Broadcast Designers Association.

• Part-time writing and business instructor since 1991
• Full-time marketing communications writer and copyeditor for companies such as The Acacia Group and Peoples Life Insurance
• Full-time technical writer, editor, and project manager for contractors such as E-Systems and Comarco, where she held DoD and Treasury TS/S clearances
