-
- Entrepreneurship
This week, Rare Birds continues back-to-back episodes of conversations with host Peter Fenton’s classmates from Wheaton College! Today, we are talking with Ciera McElroy (@cierahmcelroy), who is an author and a brand consultant, editor, and ghostwriter through her business, Clover and Bee. She believes every artist can make a career out of their work and is thrilled to help make it happen.
Ciera Horton McElroy’s work has appeared in AGNI, Iron Horse Literary Review, and Bridge Eight among others. Ciera is a shamelessly multi-passionate creative: she’s worked as a collegiate writing instructor, a consultant for film campaigns, a journalist on Capitol Hill, and more. She served as the Communications Director on the faith campaign for the Academy Award-nominated A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD (2019) and also PAUL, APOSTLE OF CHRIST (2017). When she’s not writing, Ciera can be found exploring St. Louis with her baby boy. As an up-and-coming novelist and short story writer, Ciera is represented by Folio Literary Management. For more information on her film and consulting work, visit www.cloverandbee.net.
