Madelyn Rosenberg

 

A brief about me: I spent more than half of the last 20 years writing and editing for a daily newspaper in Virginia. My specialties have been music and profiles and my interests remain rooted in music, folklife and pop culture. In 2000, I moved to Boston, Mass., where I earned my master's degree in creative writing from Boston University. I'm currently living in Arlington, Va., working as a freelancer and teaching the occasional journalism course.

My freelance work has appeared in the American Journalism Review, American Artist, Baby Years, Bluegrass Unlimited, The Boston Herald, Bon Appetit, CMJ, the Encyclopedia of Appalachia, Ladybug Magazine, Parenting Magazine and the Washington Post. My full resumé is available by clicking here.
