Hello people of Rivet,I’m Zach. I saw that you were looking for bloggers. While I am not a blogger as of yet, I am interested in perhaps becoming one in the near future, through your website if such an arrangement would prove beneficial to both your publication and myself. I noticed that most (maybe all, but who’s tabulating?) of your staff lives in the Seattle area. I do not. In fact, I live about as far away as possible (Savannah, GA) while remaining within the contiguous 48 states, and culturally the gap may be even wider between the Pacific Northwest and the Deep South. But I’m not really a Southerner except geographically, and in this age of interconnectivity maybe we should be trying harder to connect like minds in disparate places. Just look at what it’s done for World of Warcraft.

But about me. I have a Degree in Music, so I’m quite knowledgeable about, well, music. I’m a two-time Emmy-winning Television producer, so I have extensive experience in visual mediums, particularly with visual storytelling. I know movies and TV. I’m an author with a couple published short stories, hopefully with more on the way, and I’m working on my MFA in Creative Writing.

If you’re interested in my potential as a blogger, I’ll be glad to send a couple writing samples, but I wanted to make sure the geography wasn’t a problem before I did, and I’m lazy and didn’t feel like doing it right now, and Heroes is on. I mean, seriously.
