Paul Hertneky's Biography

Twenty years of freelancing for magazines, newspapers, websites, radio and television. My journalistic work centers on food, relating to culture, history, health, the environment, the restaurant industry, cooking and travel. In addition to hundreds of features, essays, and stories for periodicals, my work also appears in anthologies, has won two James Beard nominations and a Solas Award for travel writing. I have written two screenplays (optioned one several times, so far) and am working on a three-part travel narrative set in Greece. For 15 years I have taught graduate students at Antioch University New England. I hold an MFA in Writing & Literature from Bennington College.
