Chimera is the brainchild of two friends who grew tired of just having ideas and chose to bring their ideas to life in the real world.
Randy Ferreiro
Editor/Copywriter
I have more than a decade of professional writing and editing experience and I continue to be passionate about both. Whatever my day job, Chimera is where my heart is. Whether I’m writing up some copy for a client or helping a fledgling author get their words onto the page, I am most at home with a pen or a keyboard and the freedom to explore the wonder of the written word. Whatever your linguistic needs, I can help meet them with style.
