I've been working at Delta Sky again. This month, assigning and editing a feature package on Pittsburgh (in coordination with good people from Allegheny Conference on Community Development). Previously I've written higher education packages, such as the one on page 117 of this issue (the one with Melissa Etheridge on the cover), and done a little light copyediting.
In July of 2009 I began a project with Meredith Publishing called TravelMeredith.com. This blog/direct marketing hybrid website is focused on travel deals and news for women and families. The concept was for me to voice a daily blog and a monthly e-newsletter as a fun, hip, traveling momma. (Wow. What a stretch.)
I've had a great time developing and growing this project, and I kind of hope it lasts forever. Enterprising and owning new products/publications/voices tops my list of Very Favorite Job Tasks. (JuiceBox, PowderKeg Live!, and songwriting all fall into the same "creative origination" category.) I feel like I gave birth to new person with it.
And I've had a great experience working with my old college buddy, Matt Snyder, who leads a lot of fabulous projects at Meredith, though corresponding across states via email makes it really hard for us to eat half-price pizza at The Airliner in Iowa City after work. *sad face*
