Hi there!

My name is Avery Ballmann and I am a journalist who specializes in magazines. I am the Editor for Northlake City Lifestyle Magazine, just north of Ft. Worth! At this publication, my responsiblities include supervising the magazine’s freelance writers and photographers and organizing all editorial content for the monthly editions. I have four years of experience writing professionally for student and city publications, as well as skills in social media, photography, editing and proficiency in Adobe Suite (PremierePro, Lightroom, Dreamweaver, etc.) But enough about me, welcome to my website! And yes, I do write a lot and I do a bunch of other stuff too.

A Little Bit About Me

I grew up on a farm in the tiny town of Riesel, Texas, about 20 miles from Waco. As a child, my imagination ran wild. Trees were castles, creeks were mighty rivers, I made stories up in my head all the time — now I get to create stories for a living. Although I stayed in my hometown for college, I didn’t let that stop me from traveling the world and seizing every opportunity. Working at my local magazine has made me fall in love with Waco and determined to explore more places, so I made the leap this year and relocated to Dallas!
