Counting on their self-reliant, muscle-motored readers to care about an environmental message that most other magazines are scrapping, Runner's World made their November issue a "Green Issue," and I'm glad to have two articles in it; one on calculating the annual carbon footprint of an average runner, and the other detailing 30 ways to reduce your impact.
I recently took on a short-term editing job at Rodale's Best Life magazine. I am their interim health editor for the next three months while continuing to freelance for Backpacker, Runner's World, Men's Health and several other magazines.
This brick row house in Lancaster, PA is my new home and homebase for freelance writing. I'll focus on magazine articles full-time while also developing several book and teaching projects. So far I've got a few articles in the June and October issues of Spirit magazine, and will be busy with more assignments (and home improvement projects) throughout the summer.
My second to last week at Backpacker was a good one. On Thursday night the staff won a National Magazine Award for "General Excellence" in our circulation category (250,000-500,000). And on Friday we picked up four Maggie awards (given out by the Western Publications Association). The NMA "Ellie" is especially magical, as it caps off my two years at Backpacker with recognition of the strong, good work the entire staff puts into every issue.
If you flew Southwest Airlines in April you could reach into the seatback pouch and read two short articles I wrote for that month's issue of Spirit. The first is about luxury camping, while the second describes why this summer will be the last for the Delta Queen, a 80-year-old riverboat with oldtime touches stretching back to Mark Twain's era. Check out both articles in the April table of contents.
After 67 years of waiting, the world finally knows what happened to the WW2 Australian cruiser HMAS Sydney during its battle with the German raider Kormoran in November 1941. The undersea search to find the wrecks of both warships off the west coast of Australia succeeded on March 16, 2008. I wrote about the battle and the controversy for World War II magazine, although the article was never published.
I've recently written a series of articles for Spirit, the inflight magazine for Southwest Airlines. The first story previews the return of the CBS drama "Jericho" to prime-time (Tuesdays, 10pm) in February after a cancellation scare last year. Look for more Spirit articles by me in the March, April, May, and September issues.
