Kevin Kilgarriff is a writer and Recruitment Advertising Account Executive. He's been writing forever (Yes, since the beginning of time!), but didn't choose to share his work until mid-2004. A virtual novice in terms of writing professionally, his goal at Writers Remember is to share his experiences with other writers, and to hopefully help them through the trying times that a writer can encounter.

Recently Kevin started his own freelance writing business, Londontown Writing Services.

He blogs at Aspiring Adult and enjoys reading and writing in a variety of genres. His childish jokes are unrivaled and his vast collection of useless information, which he swears will one day be fully utilized, continues to grow exponentially.

Kevin lives in Warrington, PA, just outside of Philadelphia, with his wife and their 2 year old daughter.

Kelly is a freelance writer, living in Pennsylvania with her husband and three teenage daughters. She spent twenty years in the military traveling the country and the world, gathering experiences to share with readers. Kelly writes articles, poetry, and does work in copywriting.
