PRESS KIT
Ginger B. (Barbara) Collins began her writing career as a high school student
in Huntington, West Virginia. Covering basketball games for the school paper
and writing ad copy and press releases for a local dress shop gave her that
first thrill of seeing her name in print. A career in sales, marketing, and
public relations followed, spanning over 25 years and taking her from West
Virginia to Columbus, Ohio, and on to Philadelphia, before her move to Atlanta
in 1993.
Ginger and her husband Melvin took up sailing in 1994. They have sailed the Chesapeake
Bay and coastal waters of the southeastern states, and cruised the Alaskan shoreline,
Caribbean islands, and the Dutch Isslemeer. She now describes herself as a
“liveaboard-in-training,” and is looking forward to long stretches of sailing
time from a new retirement homebase on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.
She is a member of the Writers Federation of Nova Scotia and is the past Vice
President & Program Chair for the Atlanta Writers Club. Ginger continues to work
with AWC as a marketing and PR consultant, and as a speaker at conferences and
trade shows.
Ginger's short stories have been published by LunchHour Stories Literary Magazine,
The Scratch Anthology, and The SilverBoomer Anthology. The personal essay, REASON TO BELIEVE
appears in Voices of Alcoholism one of the Voices of. . . series published by LaChance
Publishing. Her creative non-fiction has been published in the Atlanta Journal
Constitution, Cincinnati Inquirer, Cruising World Magazine, and Living Aboard Magazine.
She has also contributed to Reunions Magazine and Real Simple.
