Meet Devin! Public Writing/Blogger Workshop


ABOUT DEVIN TOMB


Devin Tomb is the editorial news assistant at Glamour magazine and a reporter for Ed2010.com. She has written for Glamour, CosmoGirl and The Los Angeles Times, among other publications.

Devin is primarily interested in writing news and feature stories about real women. In 2010, she traveled to China to report on the rising cosmetic surgery trend among women in Shanghai, and she regularly blogs for She's the First, a non-profit dedicated to supporting girls' education around the world, as its campaign developer.

Devin is a 2010 graduate of Penn State University, where she was the editor-in-chief of Valley, PSU's women's magazine, during her junior and senior year. She was the first editor-in-chief to put female student leaders on the cover, with the intention of inspiring underclassmen to become leaders in their own way.

Tomb’s most recent responsibilities for Glamour include writing their new fashion column, “Love Your Style,” and developing new content for their iPad app.

Read Devin’s articles from CosmoGirl, Glamour, and the LA Times. How are these articles connected in their style, or concerns? What questions do you have for Devin about how her college experience of public writing prepared her for an even larger sphere at Glamour, CosmoGirl, and O, The O Magazine? Do some research on these publications. Why might they have attracted Devin’s interest?
