why, hello

I’m Angela (also known as @ashetler), and I’m a writer, editor, and teacher. I am a Michigander living abroad, first in Japan and now in Australia. I currently teach writing and rhetoric at the University of Sydney.

I enjoy tinkering with markup language almost as much as I enjoy marking up language. In my spare time, I write for beyondwords, a blog for professional writers, editors, and designers. I also drink a lot of fancy coffee, add to my bookshelves, and daydream about teleportation. Above all, I am a communicator — online, in print, and in person.

I love connecting with and staying in touch with people around the world, and that’s where technology really wins my eternal devotion. You can find me tweeting more than is probably healthy, plus I’m active on Tumblr, Instagram, and Facebook.
