What Topics Does April Writes Cover?

Updated

April Writes covers food, travel, sustainability, and spirituality, along with other subjects. That range comes directly from the site's own description of April Thompson, the writer behind it: she has worked as a freelance writer for more than 20 years and has covered those subjects "for dozens of publications." The site's tagline, "Wild Writes, Wild Eats," points to the same territory — writing and eating, with food as a recurring thread.

The four named topic areas

The site lists these subjects explicitly:

  • Food — consistent with the "Wild Eats" half of the tagline.
  • Travel — destination and place-based writing.
  • Sustainability — environmental and long-term-impact angles.
  • Spirituality — a subject area distinct from the food/travel core.

The description adds "and other subjects," so this is a stated range rather than a closed list. Treat the four above as the confirmed ones and anything else as possible but unverified.

What the tagline tells you

"Wild Writes, Wild Eats" pairs the two halves of the practice: writing and food. If you are trying to decide whether a pitch or assignment fits, the tagline is a reasonable signal that food writing sits close to the center of the work, not at the edge.

Who this is useful for

If you are… What this tells you
An editor looking for a contributor Food, travel, sustainability, and spirituality are the stated beats; she has 20+ years of freelance experience and bylines in dozens of publications.
A reader deciding whether to follow Expect a mix of those subjects rather than a single narrow niche.
A potential consulting client The same person also does marketing and communications consulting, so the topic list is not the whole of her work.

What the site does not specify

The available site information does not describe a house style, a publication list by name, or how the four topics are weighted against each other. It also does not state rates or availability. If you need those details, the site directs inquiries to a project quote rather than publishing terms up front.

Practical next step

If you want to judge fit rather than just topic labels, read a few pieces across the four areas and compare how the voice holds up from food to spirituality — that is the part a topic list cannot tell you. For anything project-specific, the site's own route is to contact April Thompson for a quote.
