Michele Hatty Fritz

I'm a writer and editor with more than a decade's worth of experience reaching a national audience. My primary focus as a writer is entertainment, pop culture and food. I've done in-depth interviews with and written profiles of newsmakers and famous faces such as J.K. Rowling, Dave Matthews, Coldplay, Eva Longoria, Patrick Dempsey, R.E.M., John Mayer, John Irving, and many more. As an editor, I've covered TV, fitness and lifestyle trends and have cultivated a stable of fabulous freelance writers. As a writer and an editor for a national magazine, I pursued and negotiated cross-promotional partnerships with broadcast and online media outlets. I also have extensive experience as a researcher, fact-checker and project manager.
