Writing is the foundation of Bonnie McCune’s “real” jobs, which have built upon this skill to encompass general marketing and public relations staff positions for nonprofit and government agencies.
She’s applied her abilities to corporate and institutional communications, publications, public opinion campaigns, development of private-public partnerships, fund-raising, events, and training for the Denver Department of Public Works, the Auraria Higher Education Center, the Denver Public Library, the Rocky Mountain Women’s Institute and the Colorado State Library.
In addition, she pursues free-lance writing and consulting as time permits, with publications in local, regional and trade publications including Colorado Parent, Westword, Grit, EnCompass, American Libraries, and numerous others. See some here: See the World, Denver Magazine, May 2009; The Simple Pleasures of Walking, Christian Science Monitor, Mary 2009. She co-authored Recruiting and Managing Volunteers in Libraries (Neal Schuman Publishers, New York, 1995).
Her private passion is fiction writing, and she has published several short stories as well as receiving awards in competitions. See Corazón de Mi Vida, St. Teresa On the Premises, December 2009. She currently is at work on her fifth unpublished novel and is seeking a literary agent.
She is interested in libraries, literacy, and the arts and is a member of groups active in those areas.
