Sarah Fox

Timonium, MD

Book AuthorEditorProducer (new media)

I'm a published novelist (4 books) who has cut my professional writing/editing teeth for the last ten years, editing a high-end, regional, lifestyle publication; writing the Paris Guide for USAToday; co-authoring the Explorer Resident's Guide for Paris; contributing to the Fodor's and Frommer's Guides; writing numerous articles for national publications (Glamour, Self, Allure, etc.); and turning www.BonjourParis.com and www.StopPagingMe.com into money generating websites (taking them both from offering free content, to selling Premium Memberships and earning thousands within the first month). What I know best is writing, editing, the web, and the magazine business; that -- combined with my strong workaholic work ethic, my happily huge and ever-growing Rolodex, and my natural ability to always write far ahead -- gives me the opportunity to bring a lot to anyone's table.

Wes Eichenwald

Austin, TX

ReporterCopy EditorWriter

I'm an experienced freelance writer and editor, specializing in arts and lifestyle features, travel pieces, political coverage, and corporate communications. I've contributed to major newspapers (LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Austin American-Statesman), national magazines (Spin, Air & Space, Historic Traveler), and top travel websites like Fodors.com. Profiles and interviews of notable folk are a specialty (I've spoken with many household-name-level celebrities; some of these pieces are among my work samples). I'm also an experienced researcher, copy editor, and proofreader. My current home in Austin follows previous lives in New York, Boston, and Ljubljana, Slovenia. While in Ljubljana, I originated the first blog, to my knowledge, created in Slovenia by a non-native of that country. I've been actively blogging ever since. I welcome meaningful opportunities which would allow me to showcase my proven abilities, wealth of knowledge, and unique style as a communicator and content provider.

Princeton, NJ

ReporterOther, SpecifyFact-Checker

I’m a journalist focused on aging, tech, and the politics and policies that shape health care. My work has appeared in TIME, TIME Health, The Daily Beast, Forbes, MarketWatch, Medscape, Mental Floss, PBS/Next Avenue, NPR/WHYY, and Fast Company, where my reporting on health and health data privacy was featured as one of the Aspen Institute's “Five Best Ideas of the Day.” But my finest moment might be when I somehow managed to gross out The New York Post, who called the pizza chef robot I profiled in Scientific American “creepier than lice and spiders.” I also write a daily newsletter for the Center for Cooperative Media at Montclair State University — it's a roundup of NJ news. I occasionally take gigs as a fact-checker and podcast producer, and my work as a freelance recordist (tape syncer) has been broadcast by the BBC, Gimlet Media, KALW, WBUR, and NPR/ProPublica’s “Lost Mothers” series.
