Creative Talent

– Publisher –

Meredith spent 25 years in the newspaper industry working for small, medium, and large newspapers in a variety of positions including sales, marketing, distribution, production, management, and publishing. She has published small community newspapers in Alabama as well as military newspapers at Camp Lejeune, NC and Fort Hood, TX. While she earned a degree in Journalism from the University of North Carolina, she never had the opportunity to write professionally until she started her own magazine. Next Door Neighbors provides a creative outlet for someone who is a self-described “jack of all trades, but master of none”. Meredith wears many hats as the publisher of a small magazine – writer, editor, proofreader, salesperson, graphic designer, photographer, bookkeeper, and office manager.

Her most important role, however, is to find and utilize the astounding creative talent that has made the magazine popular.
