About Me

My photo
Fred Schiller
I am a freelance writer for hire. Over the years I've written Spider-Man and X-Men comic books, scripted dialogue for computer and video games, worked on staff at a lot of great places like DC Comics and Stan Lee Media, written Young Adult novels, detective yarns and stories for children and adults with learning disabilities. I've also written enough web copy and e-commerce material to fill three harddrives. If you need help on a project, email me at: fred_schiller [at] hotmail.com. Except where specifically stated, I claim no ownership of the images on this blog and if I've posted something belonging to you I'll be happy to give you credit or to take it down. I'm just trying to have fun and make people smile.
