Because we know the importance of community, we host monthly Zoom calls to share what we’ve been working on, provide insight, and keep each other accountable.
For the year’s new Editors we host an annual Editor’s Retreat for a day of brainstorming, bonding and boating… not to mention, goodie bags stocked to the brim with product from our favorite California brands! ;)
2024’s Retreat will be held in Newport Beach in October.
The City Living Network has built publications in cities across the US including:
Laguna Beach, Lexington, Prescott, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Wilmington, La Quinta, Dana Point, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach and Maui.

TESTIMONIALS
“I was getting perks before my site was even live… those media kits work wonders! I’ve since been invited on press trips to Knoxville, Hilton Head, Detroit and NYC!”
Emily Donohue, Lexington Living Magazine
“My husband and I have established strong connections with community members, have sold advertisements to small businesses, and our family of 5 has received so many invitations for fun events that we’ve gotten to do together.”
Codi Lyons, Prescott Days
“Since launching I’ve hosted two giveaways, sold out an event, raised money for a non-profit and have built connections with the Las Vegas Mom community. It’s so much fun!”
Angela Christine, Las Vegas Parents Club
“I grew up in HB so I had a great base to start with, but having Lindsay guide me along the entire process was invaluable. It saved so much time rather than trying to DIY — and it was reassuring to know it was being done right by someone who has already made a successful career of it.”
Deanna Henderson, Huntington Beach Days
ABOUT US
In 2019 City Living Network’s founder, Lindsay DeLong launched Laguna Beach Living as a side project while she served as Editorial Director of a national wellness magazine.
5 years later, Laguna Beach Living has over 350 online articles, has a monthly reach of 1.1 million from 100 countries, and brings in 6 figures annually in advertising revenue.
This laid the ground work for the City Living Network.
Now Lindsay is sharing the 20+ years of experience she has in the print and digital publishing industry — including managing a team, securing advertisements, and creating content that engages the community.
With the City Living Network she is offering her hacks that have turned it from a side project into a dream job…
No Boss Required.
Prepare for media stays, free product, and a respect from the community that feels every bit as rewarding as the work that goes into it.
