Journalism Land

In this episode, Texas-based freelance writer Rachel Monroe talks about her Bleacher Report piece, "The Life of a Smoke Jumper." Rachel goes into detail explaining how she reported and wrote the piece.

“Maybe we don’t all talk about how often we face rejection, even people who have careers that seem pretty solid. Pitches get rejected, editors don’t reply to emails, stories get written and killed, all of this happens all the time to everybody.”

Rachel has written for The New Yorker, New York Magazine, Outside Magazine and a slew of other places. You can find out more about her work at http://www.rachel-monroe.com.
