Yes, my name really is Quentin Long; my father, who once spent three years unwittingly paying the insurance of another 'William E. Long', decided that none of his children should ever have to worry about that sort of thing. Although I'm a middle-aged resident of California, I neither have nor want a tan; I only surf the Net; I firmly believe that 'New Age' rhymes with 'sewage'; and I like all of the US Constitution's Bill of Rights, not just the bits that agree with whichever political agenda du jour.

I am available for writing commissions, editorial critiques, copyediting, and proofreading; basically, any task that involves creation and/or editing of text. If you'd like to read my fiction, go here. I'm also good for page layout and document design, in which tasks I am assisted by my extensive typographical expertise -- and yes, I can create original typefonts for you. If you want illustrations, or graphics in general, I can do that, too. Feel free to check out my posters, cards, and T-shirts, and if you don't see what you like, you can commission me to create something for you. And finally, I have an excellent voice, good for radio commercials; 'books on tape'; narration for movies or video; character voices for animation; telephone messages; and pretty much any sort of voiceover work.

In my copious free time, I'm involved with a netzine called TSAT (main and mirror sites), which specializes in science fiction and fantasy stories; in addition to being its co-editor and webmaster, I also draw its Modified Rapture comic strip.
