1. What are your main daily duties? As Executive Editor and Publisher I oversee the editorial content of the magazine and coordinate all aspects of the publication process. I work closely with the creative director to finalize all information entered in the magazine.

2. What kinds of stories are you looking for? We are looking for lifestyle and human interest stories that relate to the Phoenix region. Stories of inspiration and hope. Stories that promote and vitalize our economy through tourism, relocation and recruitment of business development.

3. What’s the best way to approach you with a pitch? E-mail Jodie@discovertheregion.com. Submit profile photo and bio of the author with your story. Photos that you feel represent and compliment your story. (Photos and content must be original and have release/approval). Stories may be edited for print submission.

4. What recommendations do you have for PR professionals? Submit stories that are clear informational pieces and have value to our readers that contain no marketing. We are looking for the hidden treasures, human interest and history of Phoenix, the people & the places of our region. We provide credits at the end of printed article. These credits contain the author & source information, as well as the web address.

5. What’s the strangest/weirdest pitch you’ve ever received? We received a resignation letter, that he wanted us to publish because he thought it was a piece of art. One man’s framed art is another man’s edit pile.
