Overview
There are two Joe Milazzos.
The first is the author of the novel Crepuscule W/ Nellie and two full-length poetry collections: The Habiliments and Of All Places In This Place Of All Places. My writings have appeared in Black Clock, Black Warrior Review, BOMB, The Collagist, Prelude, Tammy, Texas Review, and elsewhere. In addition to co-curating the online interdisciplinary arts journal [out of nothing], I am an Associate Editor at Southwest Review, a Contributing Editor at Entropy, and the proprietor of Imipolex Press. I live and work in Dallas, TX, where I was born and raised.
The second is an award-winning content producer and editor with 15+ years of editorial, teaching, and marketing experience. I have extensive experience creating, editing, and consulting on content for all forms of media, including the web, magazines, books, audio, and video. In my career, I have honed well-developed skills leading projects, managing websites and blogs, maintaining databases, developing promotional strategies, and implementing search engine optimization. I am an innovative self-starter with outstanding communication skills and a demonstrated ability to pitch, create, and edit content for clients that drives significant conversions with a high return on investment (ROI).
