Beth Greenfield
A polymath journalist with an insider’s view of LGBT culture, Beth Greenfield has written about gay mores, real estate, entertainmedjnt, kids, health and travel for prominent publications including The New York Times, Esquire, Budget Travel, Parenting and Better Homes & Gardens. A self-described “representative voice for lesbians and queer people on mostly straight editorial staffs,” Greenfield was a features editor at Time Out New York and then managed its Gay & Lesbian section for seven years. “Being an out lesbian has allowed my career to flourish in ways I would have never thought possible: it’s allowed me to write about LGBT issues from a place of firsthand knowledge for mainstream publications,” says Greenfield. Now splitting her time between New York City and family life in Provincetown with her wife and young daughter, Greenfield published a memoir, Ten Minutes from Home, which was chosen as a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Authors title in 2010. She also continues to blog about travel and lesbian mommyhood on her eponymous website and freelances for several publications. Her latest project? Working on a semi-autobiographical novel about a 25-year-old lesbian gossip columnist living in early ‘90s NYC. We can’t wait to read it.
