It’s pub day!! My first book, Feral, is finally out via Little A Publishing, and I couldn’t be more proud. Big thanks to Chad Luibl at @JanklowNesbit for believing in this one! amazon.com/gp/aw/reviews/…

@alexheard Wow. Seems a *tad* extreme.

All experiences are heightened in Santa Fe, including the car wash in my neighborhood being temporarily out of business.

@thatsMohrlikeit @Sierra_Magazine this is my literal dream assignment.

the award for the craziest assignment of 2024 goes to @Sierra_Magazine

Do I know anyone at SFGATE? They're hiring a national parks editor that I would be perfect for. Would love a more direct line than a loose resume.

@alexheard Appreciate you, friend. :)

Help Emily.

Just lost tons of work with no warning from a major gear publication. Editors and brands-- hit me up for your testing and copywriting needs! My winter calendar is a bit more open than usual.🤘

@BlairBraverman @HeatherRochfort is a wizard at this stuff and a fellow writer with a great Linkedin profile!

Help, how do you linkedin?! I've been told it's helpful to have a presence there for the speaking I do, but there are very few writers and even fewer mushers. If you're there, will you be my friend?

Weather Report from the American Southwest. We must vote for climate-eyed candidates from school boards to county commissioners to local, state, and national Elections from the President of the United States down. Anything less is unacceptable. . There is no more waiting or patience here. As Bruno Latour says, “ We are all living in “Critical Zones.”

@weischoice Huh. Most places will accept a strong pitch, even for essay, if you have good clips.

has anyone ever successfully negotiated with an editor in order to not write on spec? At some point in your career you should have enough in your portfolio to be trusted, no?

Reposting because hydrate or die-drate.

My newest article for @WSJ involved weeks of pulling park statistics to bring you the best (and least crowded) national parks. Huge thanks for the awesome edit on this, @sebmodak ! wsj.com/lifestyle/trav…

@DirtbagHikerBlg Yes same! It wasn’t a huge deal, just surprising!! The water was colder than I thought they liked.

@BrazenBackpack I found that out the hard way myself. Who would have thought you'd find leeches in a high-altitude, alpine lake? 🤷 Live and learn as they say

Stunning hike up Lily Mountain this weekend. Also… I learned that some lakes in Rocky Mountain have leeches. 👀

@wheeliemum So we actually visited a right after a rain storm, and yes we felt the sand temperature before deciding to not put her booties on!

@BrazenBackpack Have you taken off your shoes to feel how hot it is for his feet?

Want to know an awesome, dog friendly national park? Great Sand Dunes!

@Kearabile_ Not drinking alcohol anymore!!

@onecurioustrvlr Woweeeeee

I did a thing, ya'll – meet the van (yet to have a name but we're happy to have 'em join the fam). #advanture

@KatyKelleher ^^^this.

Pieces that I was paid $2k for three years ago, I'm now getting $800 for. And pieces that I was paid $800 for? $400. And you know what? Editors aren't nearly apologetic enough about that.

@KatieHammel @pointmetravel Congratulations! Well earned.

Hope your weekend is as fabulous as Marla in a meadow!

@ASingleStepBlog LOVE Tromso.

Last November, I spent my 30th birthday surrounded by huskies watching the Northern Lights play across the sky in wonderful Tromsø. Here's what you need to know about a winter trip to the world's most northerly university city 👇 asinglestep.co.uk/destinations/n…
