Drake Magazine Alumni Update: Abbey Klaassen, Kelly Roberson, John August

Abbey Klaassen, digital editor of Ad Age, explains how the PR community can best work with Ad Age.

Kelly Roberson, freelance writer and editor, just sent her son off to kindergarten; her letter to Theo was published on The New York Times' Motherlode blog.

Screenwriter John August is writing the big-screen version of Preacher.  He also gives advice on screening writing on his site,  johnaugust.com.  (Full disclosure:  John graduated from Drake's J-School, but not in magazines.  I list him here because he was editor of Drake magazine.)
