About Me

Hi, I’m Angie Lucas, a Utah-based children's author and freelance marketing writer with a passion for journaling and memory keeping. I have two picture books available now, with another on the way in fall of 2024. I also enjoy writing about personal and family history, books, publishing, grammar, and other word nerdy stuff. Above all, I treasure my role as a wife and mother to three miraculous children—one through marriage, one through adoption, and one through birth.

My professional experience includes, in no particular order:

• content marketer for tech companies, with ghost-written pieces published in Inc.com and Wired

• freelance marketing writer for Ragnar, FamilySearch, Ancestry.com, Workfront, Experticity, and more

• managing editor of niche craft magazine, back when print magazines were a thing

• occasional hand model for in-house magazine photography (free manicures, baby!)

• co-host of short-lived online crafting show, Books & Crafts, with Wendy Smedley

• owner of an online publishing company, providing inspirational ebooks for journalers and photographers

• editorial director of online memory-keeping courses for Big Picture Classes (under previous ownership)

• inspirational quote selector at FranklinCovey (“Leadership is a choice, not a position.” —Stephen Covey)

• advertising copywriter for the local KFC market, at the original agency Col. Sanders personally hired

• copywriter at advertising agencies, writing radio and tv spots, web copy, and even a restaurant menu

• intern in the features department of a local newspaper, writing concert and theater reviews

• unpaid emergency grammar hotline (“Help! I have a participle problem!” is a text I have received)
