Maryann Reid

I conceptualize stories and ideas with compelling drive and implementation. I have an expertise in content development and editing that spans over 10 years. I conceive, develop and implement stories and packages, and work with writers and teams to meet all editorial goals. I have a keen eye for originality, trends, news, human interest, and lifestyle issues. I've written and edited stories for national magazines like Glamour, Newsweek and Black Enterprise. I am the executive editor for Alphanista.com and keep my skills fresh and relevant. I am looking for an editor, contributing editor or columnist opportunity that fits. In the meantime, I am interested in editing and writing stories that change, influence, and provoke. I am a well-published author (St Martins Press) and have been featured on the CBS Early Show, CNN, ABC News 20/20, NBC Nightly News, etc.
