Freelance Writer

Jan 2014 - Jan 2016
At ConcertTour.net, I wrote music profiles on all the major cities in the U.S. For each city, I detailed its music history, current music scene, venues, and festivals. Every week I wrote three 1,500 - 2,000 word profiles on a different city. These profiles are a permanent part of the website and are paired with an upcoming concert listing for that city with links to purchase show tickets. In addition to these profiles, I attend and review live shows in the NYC area as well as publish music/entertainment articles. Concerttour.net features album reviews, concert reviews, and music news, generating high traffic and a popular online following. At PureWow and Elite Daily, I contribute evergreen humor and entertainment content for web publication. Clips of my work are featured on www.laurenlwells.com. Show less
