I have worked for the past 10 years with the title of EDITOR. But, truthfully, working for a publishing company entailed way more than just, you know, editing. And over the years, I discovered that in addition to being able to turn a boring sentence into something exciting, I was also a cracker jack researcher. If we needed an image of a picnic that took place in Japan in 1993, I made emailed and called and googled and called and emailed until I found that image. I became known around the office as “the girl who knows how to find things” so, really, it came as no surprise when people would start calling me about non-work related things – – -strollers, car seats, cameras, rare flavors of crystal light.
You want it, I can find it.
Or I can recommend something better! cheaper! bigger! smaller! more convenient! easier to find!
In this space I plan to research and report. I plan to help you with the research that you don’t want to do, don’t have the time to do, or don’t know how to do. I will, of course, be taking requests. If you heard a snippet of a song while you were shopping in the gap last week, you can email me at ali@alimartell.com and I will figure out the song for you. If you want to know which Canadian grocery store chain sells the best birthday sheet cake, I will test them out for you and tell you where to buy it. If you need a perfect little black dress, email me at ali@alimartell.com and I will try them on so you don’t have to!
See? I do all the work so you don’t have to!!
