Working with our team of 40 passionate and talented writers and photographers is one of my favorite aspects of my job as editor of Berks County Living.
Each month, the creativity of our freelancers continues to amaze and delight me. I feel honored to be the first person to read their articles and see their photos. As the issue gradually comes together – in the hands of our amazing art director Melissa Rose – it takes on a life of its own as the words and the images complement each other.
Most of our freelancers work full-time jobs. Many also care for children and other family members. Our freelancers are involved in the Greater Reading community in many ways as volunteers, making our hometown a better place to live and work. They are very busy people. They write and shoot photos for BCL because they love to write and take photos.
I look forward to utilizing this blog to introduce you to our talented freelancers, one at a time. So please keep reading BCL and checking out this website.
Time for me to check my e-mail – I wonder what fascinating article or fabulous photograph I might find? Life is good!
Cheers!
Francine
