JOSH WOLFF: WRITING PORTFOLIO
Since my first taste of journalism in 1999, I've been hooked on writing to inform targeted audiences. Most recently, my professional focus has been on: in-depth articles, copywriting for websites and advertising, editorial duties, and content and social management roles.
Where applicable, I enjoy adding a light-hearted bent in a way that draws the reader in — often with a healthy dose of self-deprecation. My favorite pieces to write make complicated subjects easily digestible, and entertaining if the opportunity is appropriate.
As a photographer, videographer, and designer, I live for pieces where I can put my media creation abilities to use.

"Trail Magic: Four NYC Hiking Trails to Explore This Summer"
I spent the summer of 2017 writing and editing for 57hours, a startup whose goal was to get New Yorkers into the outdoors by listing guided outdoor adventures. My primary mission was to review these guide adventures, and generate listicle-type content with outdoors opportunities for NYC.
