Some of us write for newspapers. Some write for magazines. Others pen guidebooks or ghost write. Almost all of us have a blog of some sort or write for one. All of us love the Puget Sound and Seattle. All of us call this area home. All of us have a passion for writing and [...]
Impact. As a PR professional, that’s what you are looking for when selecting people to come along on your press trips. Impact. Otherwise, why have anyone there? I’m guessing you look for writers who can convey your company’s story, or that of your client, in a compelling way. To weed out the levels of good [...]
Let’s say you went to Travel Blog Exchange 2010 and got one of the fancy Bootsnall Moleskine notebooks.

I’m getting into the simplifying phase of the day/year/life before I head off to Nepal for a month and to that end, I’m making my online photography presence easier on me, and hopefully you. Hidden Creek Photography is going away. It’s time. For one thing, I don’t live on Hidden Creek Way any more. And [...]
