| Hello. I've been a freelance writer and editor since 1994, specializing in travel, health/fitness, art and the environment. While most of my work has been in the national magazine marketplace, I've edited two local publications serving the Madison, Wis., area and written for major newspapers, corporations and Web sites, including seeding a wiki on marathoning. One of my latest ventures: writing travel pieces for Sprint/Handmark's Pocket Express blog and certain Smart Phone customers. I'm a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA) and the Society of American Travel Writers (SATW). This year marks my fourth year as co-chair of the popular Writers & Editors / One-on-One Conference. Below are some of my most recent clips. Please explore the rest of my Web site to find out more about me and my work. Melanie Radzicki McManus |
