Greta Burroughs
I began my writing career in 2005 as a local and regional newspaper reporter. As a freelance journalist, I interviewed residents, medical professionals, business leaders, and politicians about current events, health and fitness issues, and other newsworthy topics.
It was a fantastic way to learn about being a journalist. Every day was different, and every article unique. I enjoyed the challenge of hunting down the information, and then transforming the facts and quotes into interesting, informative stories that grabbed and held the readers’ interest.
The same still holds true today. The difference is, I'm writing for national print and online publications who expect me to utilize my skills and experience as a researcher/interviewer/writer to create top quality profiles, articles, and blog posts for them.
I love my work. I'm constantly researching unusual topics and learning new things. This is one of the best parts of being a writer - acquiring new knowledge and being able to share the informative content in a way that will engage and challenge readers to want to learn more.
Focus of My Work
Lately most of my work has focused on nature and the environment. My areas of interest include pollinators, wildlife, ecosystems, habitat, pollution, and conservation related topics. My writing partner, Dannye Williamsen and I created several conservation websites but eventually decided to move our efforts to Scribblings on Conservation. This is our way to educate, encourage, and empower folks to stop destroying and start restoring Mother Nature's dwindling resources.
I've also written several children's and middle grade books as well as a memoir and published a collection of my late husband's poetry. You can read more about my literary works on Sweet and Sassy Scribblers.
My memoir, Heartaches and Miracles, combines my personal experience, researched information, and a positive pep talk for anyone suffering with the autoimmune blood disorder called ITP. It is also helpful for anyone who wants to understand what this disease is all about.
Blossoms in the Snow is a collection of poetry compiled over 50+ years of observing life with all its twists and turns, and bumps and bruises. Robert DeBurgh intertwined his life experiences into his poetry, and I published them as a legacy for his friends to cherish.
My fiction focuses on a younger audience. My “Patchwork Dog and Calico Cat” series for young children include four books. The stories describe the antics of a silly dog and his feline friend as they learn valuable lessons while out exploring the world around them.
My middle-grade Wee People fantasy series transports the reader to another world where far-seers, firestarters, wizards, and magic really do exist. These fantasy/adventure/coming-of-age novels are a good match for readers in the 9 to 13 age group, but the fast-paced action, lovable characters, realistic dialog, and subtle humor will entertain readers of all ages.
My experience as a journalist and author paved the way to another venture - ghostwriting. There are many people out there who have a story to tell but lack the time, experience, or courage to attempt such a daunting task. Dannye and I interview and work closely with our clients to perfect the message they wish to tell in the voice in which they want it delivered.

Whether it’s writing or ghostwriting books, articles, or blogs, I will continue following my passion for writing the rest of my life.
