Writing with a Sense of Place and Purpose

Katherine Lawless

travel and lifestyle

I write thoughtful stories about destinations, restaurants, small businesses and the people that shape them—whether it’s a little-known Caribbean island or an overlooked cultural treasure in the Midwest. My writing is grounded in research, shaped by context, and always tailored to the audience. I've written for BBC Travel, Travel + Leisure The Toronto Star, the Minnesota Star Tribune, NORTH Magazine, Minnesota Monthly, ICONIC LIFE, etc.
