I have been a regular contributor to the book and music blog on Alibris.com, the pro DJ site mydjtube.com, a TV fansite for smartphones GoMiso.com, and Maine’s print health newspaper, Designer Health Today. You can read PDFs of the entire paper on their site; here’s a PDF of one review I wrote for Designer Health Today.
I write about many things, the samples below are in themes I return to frequently:
Books
Where Our Food Comes From Book Review [PDF] (originally printed in Designer Health News)
Alibris Articles
Before they downsized, I ran the blog for the ebook store Alibris.com. In this role I planned the editorial calendar and wrote, edited or assigned articles. All articles pointed to books, music or movies for sale on their site. However, I was given total freedom to write about any books I wanted to, so long as they fit with the themes we’d come up with for the month (e.g. sci-fi or “back to school”).
The Best Climate Change Books [PDF]
Books for Embracing a Vegetarian Diet [PDF]
Remembering the Armenian Genocide: an Interview with Dana Walrath
Books for National Bike to Work Day
An Interview with the author of My Chemical Mountain (as disclosed in the article, the feature of this article was a friend from my writing group.)
Political Commentary

Slingshot is a nationwide print paper that publishes leftist political commentary. Their website has little layout or design, as it is merely an archive of what appears in the print edition.
Mutual Aid Is Our Secret Weapon
