OVERVIEW

Welcome to the online haunt of  writer, editor, designer, cartoonist and web wrangler Clay Wirestone. In other words, me.

I’m creator-in-residence (not an official title, unfortunately) at the Concord Monitor of Concord, N.H. I’ve also worked at The Tampa Tribune, St. Petersburg Times and The Philadelphia Inquirer. In my spare time, I write freelance articles. I also draw comic strips and write freelance articles.

At Clay Files, you’ll find a selection of my work in multiple fields, spanning the last few years. If that’s not enough, carefully curated links throughout the site will direct you to bonus Clay-centric content. It’s a full-immersion experience!

You can send me e-mail at claywires@gmail.com. You can also follow me on Twitter. Or try both and see what happens!
