Stephen Earley Jordan II

West Virginia native, Stephen Earley Jordan II, graduated from private Baptist-affiliated Alderson-Broaddus College in 1999, where he earned a BA in Writing; and a BA in Literature. Soon after graduation, he enrolled into graduate-level courses studying writing and educational research. After a year of graduate studies, Stephen moved to New York City with faith that he would become established as a writer and editor. Landing his first New York City job as a financial editor on Wall Street, he established lists of freelance clients offering short- and long-term writing/editing consultations to education publishers and universities, travel magazines, encyclopedias, websites, and various pharmaceutical advertising agencies."I see myself as an educator, even though I don't teach in a classroom," Stephen says. "Editing and writing allows me to educate my readers of our own deep-rooted hidden agendas, whether it's with my creative writing, nonfiction, or poetry. I write about real life people and our uncomfortable circumstances. People rarely want to talk about these issues. But we must recognize these issues if we want to progress in life. This is why I write." Stephen Earley Jordan II currently works as a copyeditor and resides in Bronx, New York.
