What I've been writing

[sarahmichigan]

Just a little update on some of the cool stuff I've been covering, for those who are interested in my writing career:

Probably the piece I'm most proud of is writing the cover story for Crazy Wisdom Journal: Gay and Lesbian Spiritual and Family Life in Ann Arbor: A Look at Evolving Attitudes and Practices at Local Churches, Temples, Dharma Centers and Spiritual Communities. 

This took months of writing and research, and I talked to at least 15 different people from faith traditions ranging from Unitarian to Reform Jewish to Hindu to Zen Buddhist to Quaker.

I've also written some other fun pieces for local publications: 

Local organic clothing retailer earns award
Just FYI, I don't get to write headlines, and this would better read "earns certification." Maggie's Organics, based in my hometown of Ypsilanti, was the THIRD EVER clothing retailer in the entire world to get fair trade certification. And, she helped write the standards. Pretty neat!

Jennifer Green finds her niche at Packard Health as patient advocate
Nice, uplifting story...

I just started browsing your cover story... really cool! I was a member of St. Andrew's back in the 1980s (although I wasn't out yet...)
