Theodora Blanchfield is a writer living in New York City. She is currently a full-time freelance writer and editor. Recent work includes articles for Glamour and LearnVest.com, as well as copywriting for a major legal information company. She most recently worked as associate editor at ALM’s Law Technology News, a sibling publication of The American Lawyer; she also worked as a staff reporter at IP Law & Business at the same company.
As associate editor of Campaigns & Elections (now Politics magazine), she edited the magazine’s network of Web sites in the early primary states. She embraces all types of social media (and has a secret Twitter problem and a not-so-secret Facebook problem) and loves technology. After living in Washington, D.C. for seven years, she’s also a political junkie and especially loves the intersection of politics + tech. She blogged at the short-lived Culture11’s Lady Blog and at ALM’s EDD Update, and she has no problems talking about herself in the third person.
Last March, she launched her blog, Losing Weight in the City, to chronicle her quest to lost 50 pounds before a wedding in Aruba. She completed her first half-marathon in January 2009, and is now training for her second half-marathon and the Chicago Marathon! Read Losing Weight in the City to learn more about the food and workouts necessary to lost 50 pounds (and keep it off!) in New York City.
