Fact Checking Dance Parties

1 week ago | wildwriting.substack.com | Britany Robinson

Hi writer friend,I’m deep into organizing and draft mode for my Lonely Planet project, writing about Eastern and Southern Oregon for the next PNW guidebook. I love going through all my notes and photos, and puzzling together the details that will help travelers really sink into these places I love. It’s a ton of information to condense and shape into something that’s hopefully helpful and inspiring. I’m excited to share more about that process with you soon.
A Search for Solid Ground

1 week ago | wildwriting.substack.com | Britany Robinson

Happy Friday, writer friends! Today I’m sharing a little bonus essay. Surprise! I wrote this ten years ago, back when I had recently moved to Portland, Oregon and was trying to decide if I would make it my home for awhile. Having spent the last decade doing just that—and then moving away—it’s strange and sweet to look back on this time in my life when everything felt so unsteady.

That Writing Life You Didn't Live

I was sitting in the passenger seat when I saw her. My arm involuntarily shot across my husband’s chest to point out his window. “OH MY GOD!” I shouted. His arms went lock-straight on the wheel. “WHAT?!” he shouted back. (Sidenote: One should never shout OH MY GOD while sitting in the passenger seat unless the driver is about to hit something.) I put my hand on his shoulder, realizing my lapse in judgment. “I’m sorry! Oh geez.
Pitch me a travel essay!

3 weeks ago | wildwriting.substack.com | Britany Robinson

I’m nearing the end of my big Oregon road trip. For the last two days, I’ve been in the Applegate Valley, a lush pocket of wineries and orchards tucked into the confluence of three mountain ranges in Southern Oregon. It’s only a dozen or so miles off I-5, the West Coast’s main artery of traffic and chain restaurants. But it feels like another world; the roads are quiet and swooping between rows of grapes and fruit trees.
Writer Claire Willett on how Trump upended federal grants for the arts and journalism

4 weeks ago | niemanstoryboard.org | Britany Robinson |Mark Armstrong

On February 6, Claire Willett was in the middle of writing an application for a National Endowment for the Arts grant on behalf of the Portland Opera when she received a press release that would completely upend her work. There were two big announcements from the NEA: First, the Challenge America program, which awarded $10,000 grants to smaller organizations, typically going to underserved communities, was canceled.
On writing in circles

1 month ago | wildwriting.substack.com | Britany Robinson

I’m one week into my two-week road trip around Eastern and Southern Oregon. Yesterday was my second morning at the Frenchglen Hotel, in a town of either twelve or one-hundred-something residents, depending on who you ask and how much of the surrounding ranchland you include in its borders.
How Not to Visit The Wallowas

1 month ago | wildwriting.substack.com | Britany Robinson

Hear someone talk about “the Alps of Oregon” not long after moving to Portland. Google it and commit a bunch of stock photos of snowcapped mountains and alpine lakes to memory. The Wallowas. For ten years, think about The Wallowas again and again. Take many road trips across the state and further on to Utah and New Mexico and all the way across the country three times over. Each time, consider a detour to The Wallowas and then decide at the last minute that it’s just a little too out of the way.
Trails Magazine Editor on Print and Pitching

1 month ago | wildwriting.substack.com | Britany Robinson

One very cool thing about stepping away from something and coming back to it years later is seeing the big shifts that happened during that time Catching up with readers who started following Wild Writing (formerly One More Question) years ago has been so inspiring, as many of you are still out there pitching and writing and making it work—with so many new stories to share! Some of you have written books or landed staff positions or started editing. I love to see it.
Swooning for a city

1 month ago | wildwriting.substack.com | Britany Robinson

You could say we met through work. The first time I was in Providence, Rhode Island, I was on a guidebook writing assignment. Two friends from Brooklyn and one from D.C. joined me for a week in the Hope neighborhood, where we rented the top floor of a purple Victorian on a wide, leafy street.
