Eddie Award
In 2007, Marty received a Bronze Medal in the prestigious Folio Magazine Editorial (“Eddie”) Awards. The Eddie was awarded for the Best Single Article in a Business-to-Business category.
The 2007 Folio Eddie finalists were selected by a panel of more than 100 judges—including respected editors, publishers, creative directors, and webmasters—from a pool of roughly 3,000 entries submitted by magazine publishers spanning the globe.
The award-winning article, “Meet the Press,” explores in depth how school district administrators deal with members of the press during crisis situations. It appears in the August 2006 issue of Scholastic Administrator.
Silver Trumpet Award
Marty won a Silver Trumpet from the Publicity Club of Chicago for special event management in 1993. He created an event called, “The Peruvian Paso Promenade,” that introduced the Peruvian horse to the U.S. Market (on a $500 budget!). The event attracted national media attention, including coverage by Nation’s Business, PBS, Town & Country, and CNBC, among others.
Citizen Media Award
In 2009, Marty was recognized by the Asheville blogging community for his work on the ephemera blog. The blog was voted the most under-rated blog based in Asheville. The votes were tabulated by the Mountain Xpress, the weekly independent news, arts, and events newspapers. The Citizen Media Awards are sponsored by BlogAsheville, a blog dedicated to news and happenings in Asheville, North Carolina.

For the second straight year, I've written Food Processing magazine's annual report on food industry capital expenditures. My 2009 CapEx feature appears this month in Food Processing.
Since writing the 2008 CapEx report, I've greatly expanded my work in food journalism-writing features for Natural Foods Network and Specialty Coffee Retailer.
I enjoy combining my interest in food with my background in business journalism. My years of experience writing on highly technical subjects gives me an edge over other freelance writers covering the food industry. I have insights into the manufacturing, production, and supply chain that many others in the field lack.
I look forward to further expanding my reach into the food and beverage industry in 2009. To that end, if you're an food-industry editor, specialty publisher, or PR firm looking for a writer with my background and experience, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Two articles I wrote on K12 grant and funding programs appear on the Scholastic Administrator website under the SMART Administrator resource center banner.

These articles are great examples of my advertorial work. In the world of journalism, many turn up their noses at advertorials and paid supplements, but I find this type of work challenging and rewarding. To be successful, you must marry journalistic integrity with the desires of a corporate sponsor-tilt too far in either direction and the result can be disastrous. However, when executed at a high level, these pieces can be extremely informative and fill an important niche in the marketplace of ideas.
