My name is Libby Wiersema, and I’m a writer and copy editor with Demand Studios. The decision to leave my job at a daily newspaper was grueling—if I was no longer “Libby Wiersema, features editor for the ‘Morning News’”—then who was I? One year later, this is who I've become: “Libby Wiersema, poet, homemaker, cook, traveler—and CE and writer for Demand Studios.” Being able to work from my kitchen, my daughter's house or even a hotel has permitted me to exchange crushing deadlines and office hours for a more authentic life with room for family, artistry, pleasure, contemplation and work. Demand Studios has helped me be available for my own life.

Nice Libby! I'm there with you - former editor and now homemaker. Oh, isn't life so NOT what we planned.

Found your write up inspiring for my day! I love that you have more time for enjoying life. I feel blessed by the opportunity to do the same. By working from home (or anywhere) and writing for DS I can work at my own pace taking advantage of enjoyable opportunities that pop up and travel with my husband.
