Flint+Spark will be a site full of the stories of interesting people and the things they do that make them…well, interesting. It is compiled and written by professional writers who just happen to love talking to creative people and getting the word out about their amazing abilities.
Kirsten Nelson has a long career in publishing both as a features writer and as editor. She has many talents, but the one that Flint+Spark will be taking the most advantage of is her ability to find the most impressive person in any room she enters. No matter how big the crowd, or how small, Kirsten’s instincts act like a divining rod, taking her to whomever has the best story to tell, even if they don’t know it yet, because one of her other powers is getting interesting people to open up to her. And then she takes what they give her and assembles it in a way that makes for an intriguing story that you can’t help but want to read all the way through. Even if you didn’t think you would be interested, you will be. Trust us.
Anthony Savona, also a career writer and editor, has a different approach to finding the best stories to tell. His ability to blend unnoticed in nearly any room allows him to observe and listen — fly-on-the-wall style — and find the most compelling talents in the room. If you are animatedly telling a small crowd of people about what you do, there is a possibility that Anthony is one of the people you are talking to. He’ll introduce himself once you’re done, and then welcome to Flint+Spark.
