Vera Marie Badertscher’s Summary
For 12 years I have written articles, essays, and web articles for national (eg. National Geographic Traveler, American Style, Islands), local and regional (eg. Arizona Highways), various AAA magazines (Midwest, Indiana, Southern region,and others) specialty luxury magazines (Rolls Royce Owners and Steinway & Sons), and several web sites. While I specialize in travel, I also enjoy writing about anything that makes me curious, which includes animals, people and inanimate objects.
Because of past career experience in political consulting, my direct mail and other marketing materials get attention and results. Currently working on magazine analysis for a publishing company and creating web content for another.
Recently completed a joint project biography of Quincy Tahoma, Navajo artist with writing partner Charnell Havens.
Hope to continue expanding markets and exploring new topics. See personal web site for more details.
