So it's been a while. Nearly two months, actually. I've been hibernating from my favorite hobby. This is not ok. The reason(s) why I haven't been posting is because of work. Like most people, especially those in publishing, the holidays are the busiest time of year. Sure, we wrap up December issues way back in … Continue reading Not ok.

Diving Back In
It's been a while. I could list out a ton of reasons why I haven't been posting, but honestly it's because this hasn't been a priority. With madness in my office—from a 'reinvention' that landed me with a second job title that should really go to another full-time employee, to planning a beer release party … Continue reading Diving Back In
Production Week Madness
This past week was production week for my magazine, LNM. During production, I get sucked into a dark whole of editing and writing and barely surface for more than a nap and munchies. The above picture was me this morning, on the day the mag goes to print. I hate mornings. I deliberately don't … Continue reading Production Week Madness
More Brewing Shenanigans
On Monday, I met up with one of my awesome photographers, Jeremy Deal of LunahZon Photography, at Ass Clown Brewing Company to start another batch of our collaboration beer, and to check on the one I started last week. I also had to be a serious notetaker on this trip since CharlotteFive wanted a piece … Continue reading More Brewing Shenanigans
Weekend Wrap-up
There were no travels this week, sadly. Though I did start my weekend a bit early with an Out To Pasture saison from Heist Brewery during InstaBeerUpCLT. The meetup group is a mix of networking and beer and meets at a different brewery each month when it's held. The details are announced on Instagram … Continue reading Weekend Wrap-up
Coffee for Katies…Plus Some Actual Editing
So this morning I, evidently a prominent Charlotte Kaite, made my way to KatieCon, held at an awesome little coffeeshop in Charlotte called Rush. I had coffee with some Katies I knew, and a few that I didn't. Overall it was a cool event with an excuse to leave the office, and I got a … Continue reading Coffee for Katies…Plus Some Actual Editing
How Brainstorming Led to Beer
My current endeavor all started with a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant and a diet coke from Amelie's in NoDa. Our magazine team (two other editors, myself, our art director) decided to take a retreat day. Instead of going into the office we all met at Amelie's in the morning and went through a … Continue reading How Brainstorming Led to Beer
The Newest Issue of LNM is Here!
http://issuu.com/katiecoleman/docs/lnmaug2015?e=12815454/14454596 For a look at what my team was able to put together last month, flip through the August issue of LNM. This issue includes stories about some stellar students, a great healthy food program, an Italian market with some cool counter culture, and an interiors story on one of my writers who just moved … Continue reading The Newest Issue of LNM is Here!
July Issue—Heat Wave
http://issuu.com/katiecoleman/docs/lnmjuly2015?e=12815454/13692199 I have to say, the July issue of LNM is one of my favorites. We tried a few new things, including an entire fashion shoot on a sailboat, behind the scenes video, and a major feature that took more work than I had anticipated. Take a look at how it all turned out! For … Continue reading July Issue—Heat Wave
Solid Sunday…So Far
Not all Sundays as an editor include work, but this particular Sunday does. With two magazines out next week, today starts off with some editing and a movie. And I have to say - it's not all bad. Although I love writing, editing is just something else entirely. I feel like it's almost a … Continue reading Solid Sunday…So Far
