I write in many different styles and registers, and about many different subjects. This collection of clips is just a small sampling of my work. Please e-mail me directly if you have any questions or would like additional samples that are targeted for a particular project. Note that many bylines use my maiden name, Virginia Culler.

*Extremely* Informal Clips Tongue-In-Cheek Humor
Craigslist.org is a website that started in San Francisco, but has grown into one of the most well-known URLs of our time. Its Best-Of section contains a collection of posts so popular that readers anonymously voted them into this online hall of fame. Several of my postings have won this quirky but highly sought-after distinction. I think they’re indicative of some of the humor that I produce when writing in my most unrestrained voice. Please note that these may contain somewhat adult humor as well as profanity and buckets of sarcasm.
With that out of the way, please proceed with due caution:

#2, To Mr. Aisle-Seat Jackass
#3, Missed Connection with My Perfect Geek
