## Services

- [Custom Publishing](https://melissareardon.com/services/custom-publishing/) - With many years of experience as a magazine editor-in-chief, I know all about the ins and outs of publishing. An editor's job isn't just about editing, but curating the overall look, feel, and voice. It’s setting a budget and deadlines and knowing how to work with a sales team and marketing, freelance writers and designers.

In addition to writing editorial articles for traditional publishers, I also produce travel and lifestyle articles for tourism, travel brands, and guidebooks. Based in Asheville, NC, I served 15 years as the editor for an award-winning lifestyle magazine, WNC, covering

## Testimonials

- [Andrea Clarks](https://melissareardon.com/testimonials/andrea-clarks/) - When it comes down to the meaning of certain things, those that go up must eventually return to the earth due to gravity.”
