- I regularly contribute to Taste & Travel, Millennium, Bar & Restaurant News, Global Traveler, Hotel Management, and Beau Monde Traveller. I am the U.S. West Coast editor for the print and online editions of LUCIRE and content coordinator for Glendale Hills Living, owned and operated by Best Version Media, along with other titles from the Wisconsin-based company since 2015.
- Past editorial posts include C-Suite Quarterly/CSQ (Senior Travel & Food Editor, 2009-2017); Boulevard Los Angeles (Food Editor, 2002-2016); Beverage Columnist, El Restaurante Magazine, Beverage Industry News (Managing Editor, 2006-2010) and Patterson’s Beverage Journal (Editor-at-Large, which later became Tasting Panel), and expanded to include titles such as SOMM and Clever Root. I was also a regular contributor to Hidden Hills Magazine and Malibu/Malibu Times for nearly a decade.
- My work has also appeared in Harper’s Bazaar Malaysia + Singapore, Jetsetter (Hong Kong), Good Cheese (U.K.), BeE Woman, FIT, The Jewish Journal, The Jewish Exponent, Lifestyles, Jewish Way, Food & Beverage, Dining Out, Enchanted Bride, Las Vegas Bride, Las Vegas Woman, The Real Deal, NUVO (Canada), WhereLA, NEO (Spain), Alomagazine.com, From House to HOME, Wedding Vow, Casa Y Hogar, La Reppublica (Italy), Beauty Store Business, Dayspa, JWest, Arizona Foothills, Estates West, SE7EN, Whole Life Times, Malibu Times Magazine, Treehugger.com, and New You.
- In September 2022, I co-founded LucireRouge.com with Jody Miller, with the support of long-time Publisher Jack Yan. This new member of the Lucire family of global fashion and lifestyle magazines spotlights goods, services, and media from small businesses and entrepreneurial producers.
- In addition to food, beverage, and travel (business, family, luxury, and budget) topics, my other “beats” include residential interior design, business leader profiles, health + wellness, philanthropy, family + home, beauty, fashion, Jewish human interest, entertainment, and weddings. I also shoot my own photography when an assignment requires supplementary artwork.
- In 2010, I co-founded, created, and assigned the content of Liquid Living Magazine, which focused on home entertaining, travel, decor, and gastronomy. The project included six full issues and a special trade show edition.
- Between 1995-2001, I worked full-time in public relations and advertising. I created media kits and business collateral for restaurants, wineries, hotels, destinations, consumer products and services, entertainment industry projects, and fashion retail. I still consult with P.R. firms and departments, applying my vast network of contacts and sources to create solid, entertaining, and informative copy for placement in different consumer, B-to-B, and B-to-C publications. I specialize in engaging materials for public relations and marketing applications with a targeted “magazine style” that appeals to readers looking for a sensory experience beyond the text.

Hi Elyse,
A Philadelphian by birth and Louisvillian by choice (after marrying a native son 45 years ago), I was delighted to read your recent article about my adopted hometown in the Exponent. A friend sent me a copy and I contacted the Shapiras about it. When I lived in Philly, we often looked at areas west of Pittsburgh (even west of Harrisburg actually) as country. Friends and relatives offered condolences when they heard Michael and I would be living in Louisville, but now those same people envy our decision. I thank you for protraying “us” in such a positive way. There really is life outside of the big cities — and it’s a good life at that.
