There are about a zillion reasons I’m excited about one of my latest writing projects, Mindfulness Made Simple, a special-interest publication created by Teamstream Productions for Bauer Publishing…but I’ll stick to telling you about only three of them:

First, it was a pleasure to be a writer on this magazine and be a part of a team consisting of so many topflight veteran magazine journalists, photography mavens, and design whizzes. Second, immersing myself in this subject matter definitely made me a more mindful person; therefore, I can personally vouch for the usefulness of this giant, info-packed guide.

And third, my first full-time job with benefits in magazine journalism was also at a Bauer publication, First for Women, an experience that taught me so much about research, voice, audience, and translating sometimes-complex information into useful, readable, accurate — and, most importantly, fun — copy.
