Joe Howell Wood is a recent master’s in journalism graduate switching from a career in editing and publishing to journalism and communications.
Howell Wood lives in Alhambra, CA with his wife, his two quintessential cats, and an adorably energetic dog who just wants to be their friend. He’s done PR and internal communications work and has a broad profile focused on multimedia and digital journalism. A natural storyteller and GM, from quick social media teases to in-depth longform web stories, Howell Wood will keep your users engaged and have them coming back for more with friends in tow.
He currently works as an Editorial Assistant for EurekAlert!, a news release distribution service that serves to connect science journalists to university and research organization content.
Howell Wood enjoys crafting stories weekly for his DnD group, reading all of the news he can get his eyes on, and watching shows with his wife. Who has the unnatural talent of being able to keep up with any amount of anime shows at the same time and wonders why her husband can not fold space time as well to keep up with her viewing habits.
Howell Wood has crafted websites, written articles, and provided more editing and publishing support than can reasonably be expected out of his 13 year span as a professional.
Journalism feels like coming home to him after his varied career that has ranged from construction to knocking on doors for the US Census Bureau.
