Syndicated Columnist AT HOME WITH MARNI JAMESON A home decorating fanatic by hobby, Marni Jameson (aka Marnell Jameson) is a writer and humorist by trade. Her column, “At Home With Marni Jameson,” originally syndicated by Tribune Media Services and now self syndicated, appears in newspapers nationwide, and currently reaches more than 7 million readers each week. Finally, here’s an interior design column that makes readers feel good about themselves. “At Home With Marni Jameson” is a helpful and hilarious column that’s as much about family life as about the family home. The antidote to the unattainable perfection liberally featured in home design books and shelter magazines, this column taps what publications ignore: relationships and realities. When most people tackle a home design project, they have to not only deal with labor and materials, but also with spouses, contractors, kids, dogs, mind-boggling choices, dwindling budgets and a shortage of time. Basically -- life. The tone of the essays gives readers an “I’ve-been-there” point of view they relate to, combined with humor and hard-won advice. Readers immediately warm to the column, which offers a modern-day blend of Erma Bombeck meets the Perils of Pauline with a dash of Hints from Heloise. Though not a professional home design expert, Jameson has designed, built and decorated three homes from the ground up, and isn’t finished yet. She’s a seasoned home improvement consumer, who generously and hilariously shares the lessons she’s learned the hard way. Her column spurs readers on to stay with the cause of beautifying their homes -- while not taking it all so seriously. Her fresh perspective comes at a time when the home design market and number of Do-It-Yourself home improvers have reached an all-time high. In fact, these are two of the largest and fastest growing segments in the economy. Newspaper Specs:Each column is between 700 and 900 words. Most columns move with art. The column is e-mailed every Tuesday for Friday release. Each column includes a first-person narrative, followed by four to six tips, often from industry experts. Rates vary depending on newspaper circulation and demographics. Add This Column
