Over the past three years, we have grown our client base and writer network, launched a major newsletter (now with 50K subscribers) and a custom news hub for clients, and covered dozens of virtual events…so it seems like a good time to officially “launch” and introduce ourselves!

Here’s what we do:

• Editorial content for daily, weekly, or monthly publications. We can swoop in and revamp an existing publication or help you launch a completely new one.
• Custom news platforms—written by real, working journalists. You don’t have to just sponsor or advertise in the news—you can partner with us to create it.
• Event content strategy and “war rooms” for both in-person and virtual events.
• High-profile executive communications including op-eds, speeches, policy papers, blog posts, and book proposals.
• Clean, precise copywriting and copyediting.

We tap into our network of writers, editors, and journalists around the world to curate teams specifically chosen for clients.

Over the past few years, we’ve worked with clients including:

But pitching you on why you should buy my travel guide about Washington, D.C., in the middle of a global pandemic, a week after Election Day 2020, was tough.

Then, I thought maybe I would tell you to use the guidebook if you were coming to D.C. for the inauguration.

Needless to say, that wasn’t quite going to work, either.

Now, as we approach the end of July 2021, I finally feel good telling you to visit Washington, D.C. Many of the must-visit sites in D.C. are outdoors. Local restaurants and shops need your support. And the District of Columbia and surrounding areas are 70% vaccinated.

If you’re planning a trip, there are two things you need:

1. The updated second edition of my guidebook, Moon Washington D.C., published in November 2020 by Hachette Book Group. Look, sure, there are some things that are closed, temporarily or permanently, and the city’s still a bit in flux. But my favorite walking-tour routes are as good as ever, and many of my favorite restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops are open for business and could use your support! (There are great day trips, too, if you’re a local who wants to avoid planes and trains this summer.)

2. Your COVID-19 vaccine. If you haven’t gotten your vaccine already, there’s no time to waste. The vaccines are safe and effective—and nearly all COVID deaths right now are among the unvaccinated. I got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine in April, and aside from a slight fever and tiredness for about 24 hours after the shot, I had no negative effects—and no COVID, either. (If you have questions about the vaccines, I encourage you to visit www.COVIDVaccineFacts.org, a project developed by one of my clients.)

Have you traveled post-COVID? Do you have travel plans this summer? What did you like about my book, and what did I miss? Tell me in the comments or send me a note. And stay tuned for a quick update on some of my favorite spots that are still open in D.C. and need your support!

P.S. If you got the book already, I’d appreciate a review on Amazon.com or GoodReads!

Now, a year later, “Davos” has gone virtual – but there’s been a lot to discuss. (I promise I’ll try to avoid using the word “unprecedented” in this blog post!)

Ahead of Davos Agenda 2021, I wrote a series of “explainers” with what you need to know about:

• saving the planet
• better business
• global health
• technology (but please no more Zoom happy hours)
• geopolitics
• the future of work
• the global economy

I also had the chance to help compile thought-provoking expert insights from Forum Members about the changes 2021 will bring, including to:

• economic systems
• environmental stewardship
• business and society

Read them all and let me know – what’s on your agenda this year?

While travel may seem like something from another lifetime, we could all use something to look forward to – and if you can’t travel IRL, you might as well turn to a book. I hope you’ll pick it up and explore Washington DC’s history and culture on the page, and perhaps plan your dream trip.

And many DC locals told me they learned a lot from the book, which puts a special focus on local businesses, with walking tours and many outdoor sites you can visit safely with a mask. Or, discover your next takeout spot or a new museum to visit virtually. Either way, the book is chock full of great businesses to support, now or later.

The book is available in print or digital format from booksellers worldwide, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble, as well as some of my favorite independent bookstores Politics & Prose, Kramers, East City Bookshop, and Solid State Books.

Look, I’m much more into lounging at a beach club listening to chill electronic in a flowy dress – especially after a long day of immersive Spanish class. But you don’t turn down the opportunity to cover a club opening like Tomorrowland’s Garden of Madness. Whatever your musical taste, it’s impossible not to have fun at this party, which combines dance-worthy EDM music with party tricks (think air cannons and champagne sprays) under the roar of the airplanes in the open-air club.

Tomorrowland’s Garden of Madness runs every Tuesday through September 24, 2019.
