  1. KAREN GAUDETTE: Karen is my sister-in-law and she loves writing and talking about food. Previously a reporter with the Associated Press and Seattle Times, Karen transitioned from journalism to do content and social media marketing for a Seattle-based certified organic food cooperative. As part of her job, she constantly tweeted about food under the handle @Nnwfoodette, branding herself as a food writer and author focused on the Pacific Northwest. The result? The acquisitions editor of a local book publisher saw and liked her tweets, read Karen’s bio and reached out. Karen landed a book deal via the interaction. Her book, about Pacific Northwest Seafood, comes out in November.
