New biz editor at California paper

Jennifer Huffman is the new business editor at the Napa Valley Sun in California.

She writes, “I already have some thoughts for this page. Today, we’re introducing a new graphic feature called ‘Napa Stats.’ This weekly graphic will feature a wide range of Napa County facts or figures, from the number of local properties facing foreclosure to the number of holiday lights strung throughout downtown.

“I also hope to add a new column or two, plus a few other ideas. But unlike the animal ‘communicator’ whom I recently profiled, I can’t read your mind. I have to ask the old-fashioned way.

“What do you want to see on the business page? Do you have a story idea? What are you interested in reading about? What can we do better?

“We’re also looking for freelance writers to cover different business happenings. Are you a writer who would like to cover a topic we haven’t tackled?”

Hello Jennifer,
Congratulations on your new position. I am a Los Angeles-based freelance business writer. I am wondering if you are interested in working with writers, who are not located in the Napa Valley.
I have a broad background in writing community news as well as covering the business world. I follow many of the issues that impact the business community statewide. I can write wide-ranging articles as well as features on small businesses.
Let me know if you would be interested in using a writer located in the Southland. My contact information is keeley72001 or 310-902-4087.
I can shoot you some writing samples, if you would like.
Thanks,
Keeley Webster
