Since deciding to take a break from my regular, bi-weekly guest opinion page column for The Seattle Times (which I did from 4/01 to 5/04) I've been doing more magazine writing. I enjoy the work tremendously - writing is my THANG. And it helps pay for my kids' private school tuition in Seattle, where the public schools are just too iffy.
Lately, I've had a number of pieces published. Here's a rundown. I have the cover story in the new, December issue of Parent Map, a glossy regional parenting monthly. And bless 'em, they've got it up at their web site. It's titled: "Spirituality: A Light That Shines Brightest At Home." I love working with the people at Parent Map; this is my second cover story for them. I did one in June titled, "Myths and Realities of Fatherhood." You can find Parent Map at coffeehouses, medical offices, parks and recreation facilities, schools, certain toy stores and bookstores, and other kid-oriented locations all over Seattle and the Eastside. It's packed with good stuff for parents.
As regular Rosenblog readers may already know, I've also got a sizeable feature article in the December issue of Seattle Magazine, our region's glossy city monthly. It's titled "Blog On," and is about the Puget Sound blogging scene, and why blogs are increasingly important. Here's a link, thanks to the wonderful Ambra Nykol and her scanner.
In the November issue of Washington CEO is my piece on the recent troubles and future prospects of retail banking giant Washington Mutual. That's not online yet, but my October piece for Washington CEO, on the pioneering online residential real estate marketing firm Housevalues Inc., is.
At press right now is another lengthy feature for the January issue of Seattle Magazine. I won't disclose the topic presently, but let me just say: pick it up when it comes out. You won't be disappointed.
This summer, I got a number of other pieces published, including three nationally. They were "Bill Cosby and The Blogosphere," in the National Review Online; plus "Educational Landscape By Dali" and "Hardline Humor About Prez Reveals a Lot About His Opponents," both in the Jewish World Review.
All the above-referenced placements, and other newspaper and magazine works of mine which are linked to in the right-hand column of this blog under "Freelance Opinion Pieces," represent just a small portion of my total print output since becoming a freelance journalist here in 1998. There are some other ones I'd love to post, but they were never put online, so I'll have to see about getting them scanned.
Let me know if you have any reactions to the links above.
