I've loved the written word as long as I can remember. As soon as I was able to read on my own, I was usually entrenched in some thick novel. Don't you recall getting into a book and you just had to finish it to find out what happens? With all do respect, you just can't capture that feeling watching reality television...the anticipation, the twists, the turns.
It was that love of reading that formed my love for writing stories. From my high school creative writing class, to my college newspaper days as a copy editor and features writer, I've loved writing feature stories. Unlike the short 800 word pieces, features allow the writer to delve a little deeper...to conduct a few interviews and get to the heart of the story. That may be why I love PR and pitching the media story ideas - each and every one of us has a story to tell. I want to help share those stories with a larger audience.
It was this reason that I jumped at the chance to write a possible cover feature story for a magazine I very much admire - Mindful Metropolis. The story was about a man who started a catering company using produce and meats from local and sustainable farms. But it's more than that - Cleetus Friedman, the owner of City Provisions and the focus of this piece, also shares the stories of his farms with those who want to learn more about how food comes to their table by hosting monthly farm tours during the summer months. You can learn more about City Provisions by reading the story here: http://digital.mindfulmetropolis.com/publication/?m=6071&l=1&p=23.
Thank you for sharing this story with me asnd I hope you take a moment to tell me what you think of the piece!
Until next time,
