Oh, hello, I didn’t see you there,
Just kidding. Welcome to my very first Substack newsletter!
I’m really excited to connect with my favorite industry professionals and friends in this new medium everyone can’t stop talking about.
If we’ve never worked together, here’s a recent photo of me living my best life (but really trying not to trip and die) in one of my favorite places, the Faroe Islands:
My writing colleagues and PR people have been raving about the ease and wonder of Substack, so I figured it was time to get with it and make my own. In my weekly newsletters, I’ll be sharing…
Different stories I’m working on and would love your help with
The TV show I’m binging and desperately need to talk about
Where I currently am and where I’m traveling to next (If you didn’t know this about me I’ve been traveling 356/a year for over four years now)
Industry best practices and tips for working with journalists like me
Today I’m keeping it low-key, but in the meantime, follow me across my social on Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.
