I write both fiction and non-fiction. My fiction writing focuses on speculative fiction, magical realism, and both adult and YA markets. My non-fiction ranges widely, but my favorite topics are the environment, law, magick, herbs, spirituality, food, garden, crafts, home, holistic medicine, and animals.
Johanna once taught geography and human-environment relations. Then she got sick. Today she feels better (being a relative term) and is starting a new career as a writer.
I am open for your writing projects. My basic rate is 10 cents/word. Contact me through this website or at johannamhaas@gmail.com.
I also edit (copy and line editing) at $10/page. I specialize in working with non-native English speakers, turning their writing into standard American English.
Here you will find articles and other writings I have created and published on a variety of topics

My Ph.D. Dissertation
Law and Property in the Mountains: A Political Economy of Resource Land in the Appalachian Coalfields by Johanna Haas, 2008, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Geography.
This is a dissertation: long and technical. I studied how politics, economy, and society interact with the environment. To do this, I looked at mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia (West Virginia, Kentucky, and Virginia mostly). It’s an examination of a system that broke completely, and the problems resulting from this break were mostly suffered by rural environments and rural people.
It can be read online through OhioLINK.
