NYU Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute

Livewire Exclusives is a clearinghouse for finished stories and pitches from recent master's graduates of New York University's Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, available to editors on an exclusive basis. Editors should communicate and negotiate directly with the writers. When a writer advises us of an assignment or placement, we'll remove the listing. The writers also request a three-day turnaround on any offered query or story.

STORY: After a debilitating street hockey accident, how has singer Kelly Buchanan dealt with rehabilitation and the potential loss of her art?

I met singer Kelly Buchanan several months ago and have spent a great deal of time interviewing her along with close friends and family. Given her sensitive condition and inability to conduct long interviews, she is not speaking with any other reporters at this time. The interviews were made possible due to a connection with the sound editor who mixes her records.
