I've been writing about health, fitness,
nutrition and other subjects for more than 18 years, the last
nine of which as a freelancer. Before striking out on my own,
I was a senior editor at Natural Health magazine in
Boston (Brookline Village, Mass., to be more precise) — and
before that, I was senior editor at Baby Talk magazine
in New York City. And way back when, I was an editor at a few
trade magazines in Chicago. I've also got a master's degree from
the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. (For
the complete story, please check out my resume.)
As a journalist, I've covered everything from the savings and loan crisis to
baby poop. As a freelancer, I've written for some of the big magazines — Prevention, Self and Shape — as well as smaller ones like Walking, American Health and Runner's
World and several custom publications.
I have served as editor of Boston
magazine’s
Home & Garden and
as the beauty editor for Cooking Light magazine. In
addition, I've taught magazine writing classes at Emerson University
in Boston and have worked as a freelance/contract editor on a variety of proposals
and other types of corporate communications, both internal and external. I've
also done a bit of technical and medical writing.
As a human being, I'm a fresh-air junkie and sometimes runner (seven
marathons under my belt) who's shamelessly attached to my dogs — all
rescued (read: non-hunting) field-bred English pointers. For more
info on the dogs,
check
out my "pet
projects" (just
click on the bone below). I grew up in Mishawaka, Indiana, went to boarding
school in Culver, Indiana, college in Oxford, Ohio, and grad school in Evanston,
Illinois. I also spent a college semester in Florence, Italy. As a grown-up,
I've lived in Chicago, NYC, and Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 2003, I moved
to Evergreen, Colorado, got married, and added the name "Connors" to
my driver's license.
If you have any questions about my credentials, areas of expertise
or availability, please give me a call or
send me an e-mail.
Thanks very much!
