Welcome
Welcome to my online portfolio. My name is Julie France and I am a freelancer for award-winning business, lifestyle, and food magazines such as Columbus CEO, Columbus Weddings and edible Columbus. In my journalism career, I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing Reporter Martha Raddatz, Author John Green, CEOs at billion-dollar companies and even a Palestinian on the West Bank. I would like to share some of the stories I’ve told with you. I hope that by reading these articles, you find that I have a knack for writing luring ledes, a gift for showing all sides of every story and a love for the interview.
Please contact me at juliefrance25@gmail.com or (614)592-4305 to discuss editorial opportunities.
