Karen Banes

Welcome to my profile page. I'm a freelance writer, traveler, book junkie and work in progress. I'm originally from Britain, but have lived/worked/studied in Spain, Australia, the Netherlands, Canada, and the USA.

I have a freelance writing blog Change The World With Words where I blog about everything from Writing Lessons From J K Rowling to Twitter Tips For Writers.

Please feel free to stop by and get to know me better (if you want to). Ive just added a free report 52 Tips For Freelance Writers for everyone who signs up for the free monthly newsletter. While you're there feel free to also download the free ebook for writers, How To Earn Even More Money From Your Writing.

You can follow me on Twitter @writeandchange. If you tweet about interesting stuff I'll probably follow you back :)

Although I work for a variety of websites and print publications, I love the freedom and creativity of being able to create my own pages on my own topics here at Hubpages.

My first hub How to Sail Around the World for Free is still my most popular. I enjoy putting my fellow hubbers in touch with ways to fuel their writing addiction so I write hubs like Free Resources for Writers and 10 Great Books for Writers.
