Our Writers Rock!

Accolades continue to come in for our talented writers:

The Western Publishing Association honored Maximillian Potter's "Second Nature" [2] as 2008's best Public Service Article [3]. WPA also named our August [4] cover as the year's best consumer magazine cover.
Shari Caudron's "Uncorked" [5] was just named Outstanding Profile [6] by the American Society of Journalists and Authors.

And even when they're not writing for us, our writers are making headlines:

Contributing Editor Laura Pritchett will read from her new book "Going Green: True Tales from Gleaners, Scavengers and Dumpster Divers" at 2 p.m. Saturday at the LoDo Tattered Cover [7].
5280 alum Mike Kessler has a riveting piece [8] on 72-year-old Aspen bank robber Jim Banning in the latest issue of Outside magazine that's already generating big buzz [9].
And tonight we'll be rooting for story-telling strongman andÂ karaokeÂ king Andrew Corsello, who is up for a National Magazine Award [10] for his GQ profile of gay Anglican bishop Gene Robinson [11]. Corsello wrote about the Cooper Theatre [12] for our November issue and has another piece for 5280 that's now in the works.

I'm grateful that I get to work with such incredible folks.
