Featuring is good, but has its own implications. This is also a fragment in a long list of fragments: "About my life: settling in New York, opening my ..., exhibiting..., having reviews written ...", so simple is better. – Bobbi Bennett May 16 '11 at 13:11

Later in the ms the writer says

1@Bobbi: yes, to "write something of someone" is idiomatic, to "write of someone" less so. – Colin Fine May 16 '11 at 12:59

But the only one that doesn't make much sense is of.
