In exciting news, two of my articles from last year were notable mentions in the Best American Food Writing and Best American Travel Writing! They’re both pieces I’m so proud of and I’m thankful to everyone who read them (and my editors who helped make them much better than my first drafts).

For my article about Ivar’s seafood restaurant and my childhood in the Pacific Northwest, read “Ivar’s the Great” on Eater.com

For my article about Short Creek, a community on the Utah/Arizona border built and then destroyed by polygamy and the people trying to make it a community again, read “The Forest Hidden Behind the Canyons” for The Ringer.
