Wayne Drumheller is a Burlington, North Carolina based writing consultant, photojournalist, book editor, photographer and publicist. His work is recognized by collectors of fine photography for his creative approach and commitment to the finished print. Many of his original photographs are in private homes in Virginia, North Carolina, New York, Florida and California. They have been published in his short books: Appalachian Sunrise, My Highway Home and My Alamance.
A Photographer's Note: My Journey Into Everyday Life is his first full-length published edition. Most of his photographs and writings have been shared only with family and close friends. Most of his personally framed and matted works are displayed in his home and the homes of others who have received them as gifts or purchased them as collections over the years. It was this group that encouraged him to publish this book of his best thoughts and photography.
His advanced education in photography began at seventeen when he left his home near Wintergreen, Virginia to serve in the US Army. As a photographer and student of the history of photography, he learned early that he could create, reflect and even mirror the simple things in life and celebrate the goodness to be found in most people.
To pursue his life-long dream of helping others write their stories and books, he became Editor and Founder for the Carolinas/Virginia Short Book Writers Project in 2010. Through partial gifts in kind support for editing, layout, design and printing, he offers free monthly workshops to interested writers and writers groups. Since 2010 he has helped over sixty writers publish their biographies, children's books, memoirs, collections of prose/poetry and full length nonfiction historical novels. All net proceeds from his consulting, editing, workshops, books, photography illustrations and cover designs go to the Carolinas/Virginia Short Book Writers Project.
He received his Bachelor Degree from California State University at Sonoma and his Master of Education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. He is an active member of the North Carolina Writers' Network, Burlington Writers Club, Alamance Photography Club, Burlington Artists League Gallery and the Photography Society of America.
