Discovering Lives: August 2025
I hope you have had a good summer so far. My highlight for the summer (and then some) was a two-week trip to East Africa. Promising not to share too many fuzzy photos of giraffes, I describe a few takeaways from the trip below.
Biographers International Organization Conference
I went to the sixteenth annual Biographers International Conference on June 5 and 6 at the National Press Club in Washington. It gave me a great jolt of energy and optimism.
Semi-End of an Era
In addition to this substack, I have a website that I created when I got serious about writing and publishing narrative nonfiction.
