Our Writers Rock!

Accolades continue to come in for our talented writers:

• The Western Publishing Association honored Maximillian Potter’s “Second Nature” as 2008’s best Public Service Article. WPA also named our August cover as the year’s best consumer magazine cover.
• Shari Caudron’s “Uncorked” was just named Outstanding Profile 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.
• 5280 alum Mike Kessler has a riveting piece on 72-year-old Aspen bank robber Jim Banning in the latest issue of Outside magazine that’s already generating big buzz.
• And tonight we’ll be rooting for story-telling strongman and karaoke king Andrew Corsello, who is up for a National Magazine Award for his GQ profile of gay Anglican bishop Gene Robinson. Corsello wrote about the Cooper Theatre 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.
