My name is Rae Hillebrecht. I am a twenty-eight year old student at McMaster University, where I am enrolled in their English and Cultural Studies program, as well as their Genre and Creative Writing Concurrent Certificate program. I have been writing my entire life - as a child I would write small stories for myself, or stories for my family, placing them in a fantastical world of my creation. I have also been an avid reader and have read upwards of fifty books a year for the past several years. All of this to say I understand stories. I know how they work, what they need, and I can write them. Attached to my application you will find my portfolio where I have compiled four pieces of my original writing. Two of these I have sent out for submission for publication across Canada and another was the main piece of the portfolio that gained me entrance into McMaster’s writing program. Writing is my passion, it is my life. If I am hired I will bring all of that passion to bear for this job - making money from my writing is something that I need to do. Everywhere I turn I find friends, family, loved ones, and acquaintances who tell me I am wasting my time and money pursuing this as a career. If you hire me I will put every iota of energy I have into this job. I have to prove them all wrong, and the only way to do that is to burn so brightly that I overshadow them all. Grant me a place to burn and together we can do extraordinary work.
