Journalism Portfolio

Melanie Saxton magazine writer

I had the honor of interviewing Roma Downey at the premiere of Son of God.

As a current magazine writer and contributing editor (and a former editor-in-chief), I needed a landing page to organize my features—more for the memories than anything else, but also to share books written by those I’ve interviewed.

Magazine Writing and Award-Winning Journalism

I’ve been writing and reporting for so long that I can’t possibly list them all, but have included a hundred or so interviews loosely categorized below. Note that if they fit into several categories, I may list articles more than once.
