Aimee Heckel

Travel writing. Book editing. Fitness, features and humor columns. These are my specialties.

Travel writing is my main focus. I am the head writer and editor of TravelBoulder.com, a division of Go Visit Media. I am also a regular travel contributor for USA Today 10Best and Fodor's travel books; a luxury spa travel writer and editor for SpaTravelGal.com; and the Colorado Travel Expert (and a content editor) for Tripsavvy (formerly of About.com).

I have traveled the world to write in-depth series about humanitarian issues in Africa and Haiti, as well as arts and culture in China, Peru and Aruba. I attended college in Germany and am fluent in German.

I write an award-winning, humorous fashion column at the Boulder Daily Camera newspaper in Colorado and was a long-time blogger for HuffPost Weird. I have written on nearly every beat at daily newspapers in Colorado for more than 17 years.

I was also known as Digital First Media's "Modern Lois Lane," for my groundbreaking work in digital journalism. I have been the editor of multiple women's magazines and edited and contributed to more than 40 books, including many best-sellers and award-winners. I have ghostwritten a handful of novels for reputable authors. I've earned dozens of national and state writing awards, including being named the top journalism graduate in the nation and one of the top book editors in Colorado.
