One of my favorite things about writing for Newcity is that they care deeply about their authors and our decisions. I’ve gotten great feedback on my work and I’ve never felt opposition to me giving pushback or even asking for ridiculous things like the poem quotes throughout this article. They’re ridiculous because that’s a lot of extra work in design and editorial, but I thought they really enhanced the piece and my editors and the staff listened and they did the thing. You need a copy of this article in print, it sings visually.
I cannot thank y’all enough, Todd, Nicky, Brian, and Jan! You’re a dream team.
Interviewing Mayda and avery was a three-hour experience in joy and camaraderie. I was so lucky to be a part of it and I had a blast. Go read their work today after you read this article!
Big hugs,
-Eric
