Awhile back I posted a link to a few articles I wrote for WInc Magazine [
here and
here], a local publication put out by the Iowa local newspapers that celebrates women. Unfortunately, WInc was cancelled in March, which sent me hunting for a new outlet to write. I met with an editor at the
Argus/Dispatch, the local newspapers on the Illinois side, and had my first article published in the papers today!
It's a slow process, but I am excited for the opportunity to learn and grow as a writer. I never really saw myself as a journalist, but I am really starting to love it, and I think it really fits my personality. You also get to meet some interesting people and learn about hobbies and interests you didn't even know existed!

Hey Jess-- That's some pretty cool stuff. I admire your go-getter attitude to just make this writing thing happen.
(I tried to click the link but I had to have some kind of password?)
Hmm...apparently once it's archived you have to be a subscriber to the newspaper to read the articles. Sorry! Ha...I can't even read it since I'm not a subscriber! Thanks for the heads up!
