She is a college grad, so I'd giver her the benefit of the doubt. Sure there is an editor involved to provide feedback, but she could have been studying to be a writer anyways. E.g. Journalism is a tough field to find a job in, but plenty of kids have a talent for it, so go off and get crazy life experiences to write about.


That is where I think I come down on it too.

There are (probably, I don't really know) so many people out there who are either good writers or have good stories, it would not be so surprising if there are a significant number of people who are both.

Doing a quick google turns up [1] and [2], which describe her as

"Meredith Hattam is a web designer and writer based in New York, and an advisory-board member for the Model Alliance, a nonprofit labor group for models working in the American fashion industry."

Her homepage [2] also points to [3], and the writing there seems to live up to a similar standard. I can't tell if she writes everything on there or has simply submitted a story, but the tone of the few pieces I looked at sound very much like her.

Her blog is also quite interesting [4]

It's right there at the end of the article:
