Freelance Writing
When Linda Merrill began blogging in 2005, she never imagined that it would turn into a part time career as a free-lance writer for other publications. In addition to her 1,700+ (and counting!) blog posts and 12 issues of her digital design magazine ::Surroundings::, Linda has written over 300 articles that have appeared both online and in print in such notable publications as THE LOS ANGELES TIMES, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, HUFFINGTON POST, YAHOO! SHINE, FOX, Williams-Sonoma DESIGNER MARKETPLACE and many others.
Here is a selection of Linda’s most well-received free-lance articles. Copies are available upon request
