About Melissa Kravitz Hoeffner
I am a freelance writer currently covering all aspects of food, dining, travel and lifestyle trends and the intersection of culture, gender, business and politics in these areas. I\'ve written about everything from the way that food commercials have paved the way for LGBTQ representation in advertising, to the underground cocktail business on New York City\'s public beaches to the evolution of New York City\'s oldest drag queen restaurant. My reporting has taken me to Ireland, France, Italy, Canada, Alaska, Guatemala, Denmark, Upstate New York, Nantucket, the Bronx at the crack of dawn and many more inspiring destinations around the world.In addition to editorial work, I work as a copywriter, ghostwriter, creative consultant, writing coach or translator. I also write fiction, and am represented by Kristy Hunter at The Knight Agency.
