Dear Nicole:
I read your post. I am both a writer (various odd fiction pieces, as you can find on Google) and, of all things a human rights officer. Therefore I had two reasons to be interested in your post.
Have you done any creative writing yet? Have you been published?
I have had some luck in finding online "zines" in which to be published. You may wish to spend a few hours online (if you have not already done so), looking through zines.
If you have written nothing before, and want to start, it may be a good idea to check out the local university or college. They offer writing groups. such groups meet on a regular basis and provide feedback to your work. Such feedback can be invaluable.
Good luck,
victor schwartzman
