MSN Postbox
Postbox was a hyperlocal news and culture site in the MSN network. As the community manager for Seattle, I wrote four stories a day on music, food, news, sports—even the Thanksgiving dinner at the zoo.
A huge part of my job was writing about food. I interviewed chefs, covered restaurant openings, and poked into the stranger side of the Seattle food scene, as with the avant-garde deserts below.
As the Community Manager for Seattle, my beat was… well, everything. Maybe not the best way to run a website, but an amazing way for me to cut my teeth in my first full-time professional writing gig. I wrote about everything from quirky local events to big music festivals.
