Courtney Balestier’s Biography
I'm a generalist whose obsession with matters culinary and musical has led me to write about black farmers, Appalachian food culture, Chinese grocery stores, Jack White, and New York City's clown population. My work has appeared in a variety of publications, including New York; OxfordAmerican.org; O, The Oprah Magazine; Details; Every Day with Rachael Ray; and Allure. I hold a bachelor's degree in news journalism from West Virginia University and a master's degree in magazine journalism from New York University. Originally from West Virginia, I live and work in Brooklyn.
