Sara Widness did whatever she had to do to put food on her family’s table. This included stints as: reporter for a national wire service, lifestyle editor for a daily newspaper, freelance writer for magazines, radio host, proprietor of country store, teacher, publicist for ski resorts and New York-based public relations companies, founder of two boutique public relations agencies boasting world-class clients, and founder and proprietor of a small inn in rural Vermont. She holds an undergraduate degree
in English Literature from Stanford University.
