HAPPENINGS
My book on Modest Mouse’s The Moon & Antarctica (for Bloomsbury’s 33 1/3 series) is coming out Nov. 14. More here!
New work: “The Chumbox is Still the Dirty Secret of the Internet” (and much more) for Fast Company. Grand Canyon’s Phantom Ranch at 100 for Smithsonian. “How Magazine Covers Became the Political Posters of Our Times” for Eye on Design.
I had the honor of interviewing and photographing narrative nonfiction maestro Erik Larson (Devil in the White City, The Splendid and the Vile) for Writer’s Digest magazine’s 100th anniversary cover story. Happy 100th, Writer’s Digest. [Update: The story won Profile of the Year in the American Society of Journalists and Authors awards. Thanks, ASJA!]
The Essential Guide to Freelance Writing: How to Write, Work & Thrive On Your Own Terms and Treat Ideas Like Cats can be found at a bookstore near you.
