Please join the Fargo-Moorhead Professional Communicators at 11:45 a.m. on Wednesday, November 18, at the Radisson Blu.

In November’s session, meet North & Nest magazine owner and editor Tracy Kutzer. Hear how she’s navigated the winding road of modern magazine publishing, including managing a team of creatives and independent contractors. Tracy will share her editorial approach rooted in locally sourced talent and stories that celebrate purpose, place, and perspective. She’ll touch on editorial burnout, learning to delegate, using project management tools like Basecamp, leveraging AI, and walking the fine line between advertising sales and editorial integrity. Tracy also shares her criteria for what makes a story worth telling and how industry relationships have helped create a reliable pipeline of ideas, sources, and content.

By day, Tracy Kutzer is an architectural writer at JLG Architects in Fargo, North Dakota, specializing in public relations and communications for architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design. After hours, she is the owner and editor of North & Nest magazine, based in West Fargo, North Dakota. 

We will gather in a private dining room at the Radisson Blu's 84 Steakhouse. Lunch orders will be taken at 11:45 a.m. with the guest speaker presenting at noon.
