How to Survive as a Broke-Ass Writer: What Editor’s Want

Before I became a professional editor and journalist, I was a super green blogger trying to build an impressive portfolio. I have achieved all that I have because I had a few editors and writers in my life who were incredible mentors. Scott Schultz of L.A. RECORD and Thomas Murphy

Dispatches From The Road: A Survivor’s Guide To Sydney

It’s a little endearing when everyone you know in Sydney keeps telling you how Sydney hates you and wants you to die. The resume of dangerous places you’ve been to and survived doesn’t count for anything here. It doesn’t matter if you’ve ever taken a stroll through the Tenderloin or
