Former BJ columnist David Giffels will be one of four The Belt
fellows covering the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
The Belt’s goal is to have writers who may pursue different angles
than the traditional convention media.
Giffels also authors books on Akron, Devo and the rubber exodus
from the city.
Other $1,000 grant fellows are Wheeling, West Virginia native Sarah
Brumble, a writer/photographer equally at home in Africa or Cambridge; Anna
Limontas-Salisbury, a City University of New York graduate who focuses on women
and poverty; and Drew Philp, who’s working on a memoir of Detroit, where he
built a home he purchased for $500 with his own hands.
