My newest adventure...

After spending a few weeks going through the application process, (and keeping it a secret from most of you), it became official today that I am the newest contributor of Miss A, an online women's magazine that covers lifestyle topics in cities across the United States. In an effort to expand my writing portfolio and gain experience, I had been searching for a reputable online magazine to possibly write for in the future. When I found out about Miss A, I was eager to get in touch with Andrea Rodgers, the site's creator, to discuss possibilities with her magazine. I had no idea it would only take me a month to become a part of the team! I will be writing for their Chicago section and will be covering everything from events and fun things to do in the city, to restaurants and local businesses. This will give me a chance to utilize my creative mind while educating our audience on what's going on in their city. And, it will give me an opportunity to explore Chicago and take advantage of everything it has to offer! 


For those of you wondering what Miss A is all about, let me explain. Miss Rodgers started this online magazine 3 years ago for the purpose of giving readers advice. Although her audience still comes to her for heartfelt advice, the magazine has expanded to include authentic, informative articles from writers all across the country. "Miss A provides heartfelt, rather than manufactured, content for women’s well-rounded lifestyle interests including political and social issues; art and cultural events; charity galas and volunteer opportunities with nonprofits; women’s organizations and networking events; art and literature; design and entertaining; fashion and beauty; food and dining." (Miss A)


My first three articles will be submitted within the first 10 days of being a Miss A Author, and then I will submit weekly articles. Although I was hopeful that my writing would expand beyond this blog, I never imagined it would happen so quickly and with the support of such an inspiring online magazine. This just helps prove that with determination and a little bit of hard work, I can make progress toward any goal. And so can YOU!
