WELCOME
Welcome and thanks for visiting! I'm a writer and publicist based in Austin, Texas. My publication credits include daily papers, alternative weeklies, magazines and websites. Using my 15 years of experience in advertising and marketing, I promote businesses, non-profits and artists making the world a better place - and I have fun doing it.

"An aside for his musical peers: Lofton's site — jefflofton.com —
is one of the cleanest, most informative Web presences I've ever seen for a local musician; his example is to be followed."
Thanks to the talented team I work with - web designer/graphic designer Toni Turbeville, graphic designer Stephen Brogdon, and photographer Dwayne Hills.
BIOGRAPHY
Personal
I relocated to Austin, Texas, in 2007 from Columbia, South Carolina, with my husband, jazz trumpeter Jeff Lofton, and I’m the lucky step-mother to 9-year-old Shana.
