Awards 2012
Truly humbled to be honored by the Idaho Press Club Saturday night, with 8 awards in newspaper writing, magazine editing and blogging, including 4 First Places.
2012 was the first year I wrote newspaper features full-time for the Idaho Mountain Express, and it was also my first year blogging for Sun Valley Resort, so it was especially exciting to be honored in both those categories.
2012 was also my final year as editor of the Sun Valley Guide. To receive the General Excellence award for the 7th time was incredibly important to me, and made for the perfect high note on which to end my near decade of work with Express Publishing. Here's hoping South Carolina will be as kind!
