Great great article and interview. I am coming out of the creatibe nonfiction scene and was surprised to learn writing storiea from your own community was not kosher. I think being transparent aboıt everything is key, as Singer mentions. Now I have to go listen to The Stacks.

Very interesting interview. Thanks for sharing the works of these great journalists, and the great references to keep learning. I am looking forward to reading Life and Death of the American Worker.

Hi Traci--I met you at the kids stage at LAT Festival of Books (you also met my twins and family). I mentioned to you I am a professor in the Literary Journalism Program at UC Irvine, and we are a unique major focusing on narrative nonfiction. I just sent you a DM via Substack about a book convo, and also via your web site. Thanks!
