“Susan’s ability to capture the essence of a location and make others want to travel there is a gift few writers ever develop,” LTN Publisher Kathryn Reed said.

Wood is a regular contributor to Lake Tahoe News, with many of her stories focusing on travel.

This is the second consecutive year Wood has been singled out by NATJA judges for her expert descriptive prose.

Wood was also a finalist in the Local Lifestyle category for her article about train travel in England.
