The Westsider magazine has a new name: The Independent. The mission of “Creativity, Culture and Change” is still the same, however the reach of the magazine has extended from the West Side and Back Mountain communities into the entire Greater Wilkes-Barre area. In this debut issue, I have three stories:
Solid Cactus on the Move– a Q&A with President and Co-Founder
Profile: Sound Solutions– profile on local business
Profile: Rebennack’s Appliance– profile on local business
There is also an article from my friend and mentor, Andrea Frantz on a great local journalism teacher, Les Nichols. And, the rest of the magazine is jam-packed with lots of great material — news and creative writing- from some of the best writers in the area.
If you are local, be sure to look out for this magazine at locally-owned businesses. It is a great publication and I am very proud to have been a part of it for the past two years.
