Emily Main

After high school, I got a degree in English from a small liberal arts college in Missouri and then a master's in journalism from Ole Miss. Immediately after that, I moved to New York City to try my hand at magazine publishing (I beat Eli Manning to the city by mere months...). I freelanced as a copy editor/fact checker for two years until I finally landed a full-time job at an interior design magazine--about which time I realized that big-time magazines weren't exactly my cuppa tea. So when I was offered a job as an associate editor at a non-profit environmental newsletter/web site, I gladly left my very unsatisfying, bottom-of-the-totem-pole editorial- assistant job behind. I've been working at the newsletter for nearly a year now and couldn't have dreamed of a better job. I write and edit articles on all things recycled, organic and otherwise good for the earth--www.thegreenguide.com, if any of you are interested. Otherwise, I spend my hours playing violin in a volunteer orchestra in Greenwich Village, going to concerts on the non-creepy end (haha! I agree that there is a decidedly creepy side of this city, and not
just in music...) of the New York music scene and teaching myself how to play bluegrass fiddle (and any other kind of fiddle music I can get my hands on). Sorry to have missed the reunion. It looks like everyone had a great time. Peace!
