School Road Publishing is pleased to announce acclaimed
writer, journalist and speaker Niki Bezzant as Editor of
wellness and sustainability magazine
Thrive. Niki
will assume her new role in August when she takes the helm
from current Editor and simple living guru Wendyl Nissen,
who is stepping away from
Thrive to return to the
world of writing books. While her predecessor leaves behind
big shoes to fill, Niki is raring to go and ready to rise to
the occasion. I’m thrilled to be joining the
Thrive team, and really looking forward to picking up
where Wendyl has left off.
