As we can’t meet face to face, it would be helpful if you could provide some autobiographical information. Knowing a few details about a writer’s background can help the instructors and your fellow students better evaluate story ideas and angles… And please feel free to say “hello” and chat in the comments, of course!
Here’s a template, but feel free to improvise too!
If any of the prompts feel uncomfortable, please skip them.

WEBSITES & CONTACTS:Please don’t panic if you’re unfamiliar with this platform! We have a help section, written specifically for this program. And I’m standing by if you have questions: amanda@writelikeahoneybadger.com. Most folks acclimate to the tech within a few days. But I’m happy to handhold during the learning curve!
Below you’ll see a file introducing your instructors. Add yours, please! Freelance journalism takes a village, from cheerleading to sourcing to finding editor emails, referrals/submission calls, etc. Surround yourself with good people and good things are more likely to happen… So I hope this will be a great step in that journey for you all!
Cheers,
Amanda
Lead instructor* Because we discuss each other’s work, it’s helpful to know what pronoun you prefer (i.e.; she/her, he/him, they/their, zie/hir, etc). If anyone omits this information, please use the neutral “they” and “their” option.
NAME: Lead Instructor Amanda Castleman
CALL ME: Amanda or “Ax” (UK shorthand for initial, plus “X” — sign here. It caught on as a nickname when I moved back to the States…)
OCCUPATION: Freelance journalist, photographer and writing instructor
PRONOUNS: She/her
AGE: 50
HERITAGE: Irish-Italian-Appalachian-American mutt
LANGUAGES: conversational Italian; rusty German, Latin, and both ancient and modern Greek.
HOBBIES: diving, hiking, kayaking, cycling and the occasional spell of yoga. Gardening. Photography. Way too many books. I like to cook sans recipes, but — for the same rogue reason — do not excel at baking anything but my great-grandmothers’ bread and biscuits. I’m learning to play acoustic guitar and doodle with watercolors. Usually I take one student’s tuition each term and funnel it into a class or new experience: it’s good to connect with the frustrations and triumphs of the learning curve…
HOMETOWN: Bow in Skagit Valley, Washington, at a stretch. I lived in California and Massachusetts as a young child, but spent the formative years of 11—21 in the Pacific Northwest. After eight years abroad, I returned to the Emerald City. The saltwater and cedars signal home more clearly than any channel buoy…
CURRENT LOCATION: I lived in Europe for eight years: in Oxford, England on a traditional narrowboat, then at the American Academy in Rome. I split 2003 between Athens, Greece; Nicosia, Cyprus and Ankara, Turkey. I now live with my partner Doug — a producer for Amazon Publishing — in my Seattle tiny home, along with two kitties: a wacky tortoiseshell and a slinky parlor panther.
WRITING EXPERIENCE: My articles and photos have appeared in Afar, AARP, Outside, National Geographic, The New York Times, Sierra, Islands, Wired, Salon, BBC Travel, Delta Sky, Hemispheres, American Way, Sport Diver, Coastal Living, Bon Appetit, Cooking Light and The International Herald Tribune, as well as the UK’s Guardian and Sunday Express. I’ve also worked on 30-odd books, including titles for National Geographic, Frommer’s, Michelin, Time Out and Rough Guides. In 2007, I won a Lowell Thomas — the genre’s ersatz Pulitzer — for a feature on scuba. In 2020, I landed the same award for cultural coverage, as well as a Best Travel Writing Grand Silver Solas award for this piece. Most recently, I netted a Solas silver for stories about water journeys for this homage to my late brother-by-choice.
My journalism career began at age 18 in Seattle, Washington. I funded a classics degree at the University of Washington by writing for The Daily. I then worked as a magazine editor, graphic and web designer, and newspaper reporter, before going freelance in 2000, when I moved to Rome. The language barrier spurred me into travel writing, though I still cover the environment, health, business and technology as well.
FAVORITE WRITERS: Edward Abbey, T.C. Boyle, Paolo Bacigalupi, Sarah Rees Brennan, Tim Cahill, Wade Davis, Ivan Doig, Timothy Egan, T. S. Eliot, Martha Gellhorn, Pico Iyer, Marie Javins, Hanif Kureishi, Pär Lagerkvist, Peter Matthiesien, John McPhee, Eric Newby, Nnedi Okorafor, Redmond O’Hanlon, Tom Robbins, Terry Southern, Gary Snyder, John Scalzi, Zadie Smith, Paul Theroux, John Kennedy Toole, Kurt Vonnegut and Jeanette Winterson
Recent reads I loved: Sy Montgomery’s Soul of an Octopus and Arctic Dreams by Barry Lopez.
GOALS FOR THE COURSE: One of the most difficult aspects of writing — any writing — is just getting down and doing it. I hope this class will lead you over that hurdle, providing advice and support along the way.
WRITING AMBITIONS: I’ve been asked to write a children’s book about whale-poop-sniffing dogs. Seriously.

NAME: Ansley Evans
OCCUPATION: Freelance translator and writer
PRONOUNS*: She/her
AGE: 50
HERITAGE: Norwegian-Welsh-Italian-Floridian
LANGUAGES: Spanish and French
HOBBIES: Reading, hiking, baking bread, making ice cream,
HOMETOWN: I was born and raised in Orlando, FL, went to college in Colorado and then lived in Portland, Oregon, for 10 years. I worked in Avignon, France, for two years, where I met my husband. I followed him to his hometown—Murcia, Spain—in 2009 and have been there ever since.
CURRENT LOCATION: I live in Murcia, Spain, with my husband and 11-year-old son. My parents recently moved here, too. I’m still adjusting.
WRITING EXPERIENCE: I specialize in food and travel translations and have translated over a dozen cookbooks. Last year, I translated a comprehensive book about cheese. I also translate for the Louis Vuitton City Guides. As for my own writing, I’ve kept a journal forever and have long dreamed of getting more bylines. Many years back, I published an article about magic lanterns for an antiques magazine, and I recently wrote about the Cartagena (Murcia)-born liqueur Licor 43 for The Alcohol Professor. I’m currently working on a story about olive oil tourism in Spain for The Olive Oil Professor. I particularly enjoy writing stories about Spanish traditions that reveal connections across cultures.
FAVORITE WRITERS: Some favorites among the ever-growing list: Zadie Smith, John Steinbeck, Zora Neale Hurston, Elisa Gabbert
GOALS FOR THE COURSE: I’m thrilled to be in this space, sharing challenges and providing each other with support and accountability, which I realize I need to make any progress on my abstract writing goals. I’m very good at accumulating (hoarding) ideas in my bookmarks tab, read-later app, phone notes, journal and elsewhere. But I’m finding it harder and harder to slow down and look back. I rarely read the articles I’ve saved to read later, I keep charging forward without taking the time to start turning these ideas into pitches or essays, partly due to fear. I hope this course will help me establish a routine, quieting all the noise, resisting the urge to keep plowing forward, and taking the time to choose an idea or two and write a pitch or start an essay. I’d love to hear any strategies you have for organizing your ideas in a simplified/streamlined way. I’d also like to discuss researching and reporting efficiently, and how you decide when a piece is “done” enough to hit send.
WRITING AMBITIONS: I really love the kinds of essays they publish in Orion, especially in the Foodways section. That’s a dream publication for me. I did get a positive rejection from them last year. In the shorter term, I’d like to get out several pitches with ideas I feel passionate about and have been contemplating for a long time.

NAME: Josephine Wong
OCCUPATION: Was a graphic designer for 5 years. Currently working part-time as a social media manager and part-time front desk at a Pilates studio while I figure out my next steps.
PRONOUNS: She/her
AGE: 29
HERITAGE: Chinese
LANGUAGES: English, and a teensy bit of Cantonese and Mandarin
HOBBIES: Photography. Hiking. Painting. Hosting dinner parties and craft nights. Yoga. Dance classes — hip-hop, ballet, contemporary, salsa, even line dancing (I’ll try anything once). Reading, mostly romance novels. Ice skating — not particularly well, but I have this dream of skating across a frozen lake in Banff with those grand mountains as a backdrop, or maybe under the Northern Lights in Finland.
HOMETOWN: Born in Hong Kong. Moved to Hawaii at 6 months old, Japan at 4, and back to Hong Kong at 6.
CURRENT LOCATION: Moved back to the U.S. for college and am now based in New York City.
WRITING EXPERIENCE: I had no writing background, but somehow ended up with a piece published in Condé Nast Traveler, a total surprise, but such a thrill. After that, I took Amanda’s Travel Writing I course to learn how to actually write and build more confidence in my voice.
FAVORITE WRITERS: Kate Quinn, Kristin Harmel, Jodi Thomas, Lisa Kleypas, Linda Howard, Bill Bryson, Erika Fatland, Lisa Bend, Anya von Bremzen, Anthony Doerr
GOALS FOR THE COURSE: Even though I took Amanda’s first course, I still struggle to feel comfortable writing. It takes me a long time to think and get words on the page. I just want to become a better writer.
WRITING AMBITIONS: To grow as a storyteller and eventually get published in more travel publications and maybe even get paid to travel.

Ugh! Sorry! Ansley had this happen too, but I haven’t been able to recreate the issue to troubleshoot properly. I believe it’s either a first-big-post problem or else the links are freaking out the plug-in.
Anyway, I could see your post on the back end: it’s approved and visible now. Hopefully this won’t come up for you again, but I’ll be working on a solution regardless!

NAME: J’nai Gaither
OCCUPATION: writer
PRONOUNS*: She
AGE: 42

NAME: Auburn Scallon
OCCUPATION: guidebook author, localization editor, freelance journalist
PRONOUNS*: they/she (feel free to use either or a mix of both)
AGE: 46
HERITAGE: mostly Irish American
LANGUAGES: US English, some high-school French, & very basic Czech
HOBBIES: all types of theater and dance (I taught ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, & kickline for fifteen years); I’m a TV, movies, and podcasts fan; my want-to-read list is extensive; and I love a good pub quiz
HOMETOWN: West Seattle, where my childhood self thought I’d never leave, lol. These days, the cost of living keeps me from spending as much time as I’d like there.
CURRENT LOCATION: I am currently location-independent while looking for the right place / visa pathway to put down roots. I previously studied abroad in Greece, lived in NYC twice, spent six years in the Czech Republic, and did an international master’s degree that moved between Scotland, Malta, and Estonia. I’m splitting 2025 between Ireland (my dream home), New Zealand, and Seattle.
WRITING EXPERIENCE: I got my first professional byline by cold emailing Dance Teacher magazine in the mid-2000s. Then I dabbled in lifestyle & entertainment writing for now-defunct NYC blogs and print publications. While working at a hotel in New Zealand, I met an Australian newspaper editor who commissioned one of my first travel stories (what life as a writer in NY actually looked like compared to Sex and the City).
I spent most of the 2010s in the Czech Republic, which gave me some destination expertise and more confidence to pitch larger outlets (The Independent, Evening Standard) alongside Prague’s English-language outlets. That led TimeOut, Moon Guides, and Czech Tourism to approach me for occasional Prague and Czech stories. Most recently, I spent a year as an editor, commissioning sponsored content for a luxury travel outlet (and confirming that is not my world).
The travel industry as I’ve experienced it hasn’t often seemed to fit with my own ethics, budget, and lifestyle. I pursued a master’s degree looking at US/UK travel writing through an adult education lens and evaluating its curriculum diversity (spoiler: it’s not great!). For the past five years, I’ve shifted a lot of my focus away from freelance journalism into more fiction and academic editing, marketing, and guidebooks. Would love to dip back into pitching stories that I care about to the outlets out there doing great work.
FAVORITE WRITERS:
Some contemporary Travel and Culture voices I enjoy:
Bani Amor, Priscilla Blossom, Mona Chalabi, Morgan Childs, Roxane Gay, Soleil Ho, Lebawit Lily Girma, Linda Holmes, Saeed Jones, Alex Kapitan, Jacqueline Kehoe, Li Lai, Nina Metz, Sebastian Modak, Rebecca Nagle, Ijeoma Oluo, Monisha Rajesh, Johanna Read, Jen Rose Smith, Lavanya Sunkara, Dr. Anu Taranath, Ruth Terry, Naomi Tomky, Tuck Woodstock, Karen Yin, Ed YongSome recent(ish) favorite books:
How to Loiter in a Turf War, Coco Solid
Back After This, Linda Holmes
Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, by Suzanne Collins
Kim Jiyoung, Born 1982, by Cho Nam-joo (Author), Jamie Chang (Translator)
The Memory Police, by Yoko Ogawa (Author), Stephen Snyder (Translator)
The Other Black Girl, by Zakiya Dalila HarrisGOALS FOR THE COURSE:
Tip-toe back into freelance journalism and hopefully get at least one pitch accepted in 2025.WRITING AMBITIONS:
The eternal dream: find a mix of professional editorial projects that provide a living wage—and never have to “pivot to video.” Would also love to be part of a worker-owned journalism collective one day (if we’re dreaming big).WEBSITES & CONTACTS:

Hi Auburn, and welcome to the Den! So much you say here resonates with me. I, too, have tried different writing paths and recognized my discomfort there. It sounds like you have some great experience to meet your goals for the course and then some!
P.S. I also work as a translator and appreciate your shout-out to the translators in the favorite books section!

Translators are so often under-appreciated (and underpaid) for such valuable work! A lot of my own localization work these days comes from editing translated stories for Tapas from largely East Asian creators. I am constantly in awe of how many people can nail tone in multiple languages.
-
-
Auburn!!! I’m thrilled you’ve joined us here (and that you’re back in West Seattle. Let’s hang, once you’re through the jet lag!).
Travel writing ethics have been weighing more and more heavily on me too, as you know. And I also dream of a collective… a lot of non-profit newsrooms are flourishing and filling news deserts. It would be fab to see that model applied to thoughtful stories about travel!
In other news, I’m excited about your “pop-up rage” pitches. The world needs that messaging right now, both users struggling and UI/UX designers, many of whom seen to have abandoned functionality. This reminds me of the click/listicle fervor, which gradually gave way to engagement metrics (good ‘ole quality over quantity!)… Hopefully companies will start prioritizing ease over force-feeding us ads and prompts to use AI soon!
And in the meantime, you’ll be here to help us all cope! 😉

NAME: Jess Silverman
OCCUPATION: yoga teacher
PRONOUNS*: she/her
AGE: 29
HERITAGE: white
LANGUAGES: English; enough Latin American Spanish to usually reach my intended destination, find the best pollo a la brasa, and climb mountains with a decent sense of the relevant dangers.
HOBBIES: Climbing, skiing, and kayaking—typically pursued at a level where mortality demands your full attention. However, I also find enjoyment in many non-death-defying hobbies, such as eating good food, practicing yoga, dancing, and sauna-ing.
CURRENT LOCATION: Colorado, though I live in a Van and move around a lot. I usually spend about half a year in British Columbia.
WRITING EXPERIENCE: Very little. I was a grant writer for a genomics lab for a short time. And I wrote a never-published academic article for a Neuroscience degree.
FAVORITE WRITERS: Hunter S. Thompson, Ed Yong, Sam Kean, Barbara Demmick, Katherine Boo, Margaret Atwood, Anthony Bourdain, Kurt Vonnegut, and Aldous Huxley.
GOALS FOR THE COURSE: It feels like when I write (and read), I don’t understand why something is good or bad. There is just a goodness or badness hovering around it. So my goal for this course is to learn precisely why a piece of writing is good. How it works, why it works. I am also looking forward to being a part of this community. I don’t have a writing community in my life right now. My goal for this course is to never say that again.
WRITING AMBITIONS: I want to be a freelance journalist. I can’t decide between science, travel, or investigative journalism. I want to get paid to travel to remote or strange places–I find theocracies and surveillance states to be particularly interesting. I’d love to be a science writer who can report on a bunch of different disciplines-though my first love is Neuroscience.

Jessica, welcome!
I’m so glad you could join us here! And not to get too fan-kid, but your essay How to Say Goodbye to Your Abusive Dying Father on a Lima Street Corner resonated deeply with me. I’ve been estranged from my abusive parents since 2017 and often worry how I’ll react when scary stuff happens.I read your piece hours before receiving an “FYI, I had a mild stroke” text from my mom, despite my “no contact” requests. She’s fine, thankfully. But your story made me feel better about not running to her side or even responding. Thank you!
Regarding your comment that “I can’t decide between science, travel, or investigative journalism” — here’s the good news: You don’t have to. A lot of advice focuses on freelancers “niching down” and that certainly can be an effective strategy in quickly building momentum, especially at the start. But I bounce between beats often to keep my ADHD brain happy and haven’t found it problematic. If anything, it has helped. When a revenue stream slows, like travel writing during lockdown, I lean in to covering science, health and conservation instead. Versatility — with topics and skills too — can be a huge asset!
Cheers,
Ax-
Hi Jessica,
That is such a powerful piece! I’m in an intense situation with my (divorced) parents right now — after decades living apart, they have both recently moved to Spain to be near me. Cutting ties is not an option, but your piece has me thinking about mindset shifts that might help release some of the pressure of old patterns returned to haunt us all.
You have such amazing experiences for pursuing all those niches you mention. I think there’s a lot of potential for overlap between them, too. I’m starting to get into more science and environmental writing (especially agriculture-related), and highly recommend the following resources, in case you don’t know about them already:
– The Science Writers’ Handbook: A great book for all kinds of journalism
– The Open Notebook (website packed with resources)

NAME: Rey Katz
OCCUPATION: tech & marketing expert for founders, freelance journalist, newsletter publisher
PRONOUNS*: they/them
AGE: 35
HERITAGE: My dad immigrated to the US as a baby with his parents, Jews from Poland and/or Ukraine. My mom’s grandparents were from Romania and Hungary. I grew up in New Jersey and was taught very little about my family’s cultural heritage when I was a child.
LANGUAGES: English (fluent). I know Spanish at a very basic level and I am even more of a beginner in learning Japanese.
HOBBIES: Spending time outdoors. Martial arts (aikido).
HOMETOWN: A tiny rural town in New Jersey.
CURRENT LOCATION: Boston, MA
WRITING EXPERIENCE: I started writing for publication around 6 years ago as a freelance journalist and blogger. I don’t have a formal journalism background. I’ve learned a lot from classes including Pitch Like a Honey Badger and from editors who have been kind enough to work with me. I’ve been published in HuffPost, Popsugar, Catapult, and other publications. (My clips) I write a newsletter, Amplify Respect, to inform and uplift trans folks and allies.
FAVORITE WRITERS: River Selby, Lilly Dancyger, the folks in my writing group (Carmella, Melanie, Eileen, Laurie), Jennifer Lunden, anyone who writes YA LGBTQ+ novels
GOALS FOR THE COURSE:
I do a lot of traveling, relatively, and would love to write about my travels in a thoughtful and thought-provoking way. I want to avoid writing the “white tourist” articles about places among communities of color. I want to get better at creating a grounded sense of place in my writing, in my memoir manuscript, in my newsletter articles, and in pitching journalism.My memoir in progress that I’ve been working on with my writing group is about coming of age as a non-binary martial artist. I get, so often, complaints that people do not know where or when I am talking about. Places in this work include my family’s home in rural NJ, Boston, Oakland, CA, Boston again, Nagoya, Japan, upstate NY, camping in the eastern Sierras in CA, etc. I move around a lot and would love to learn how to cue the reader as to where I am and what that place means to me at the time.
I’m also interested in pitching and writing travel pieces. One specific venue would be Conde Nast Traveler’s “stories about identity” section edited by Matt Ortile, who was previously at Catapult. https://www.cntraveler.com/info/how-to-pitch-conde-nast-traveler
I’d love to combine LGBTQ+ advocacy with a travel writing piece.
WRITING AMBITIONS: My ambitions as related to the course are to pitch a travel piece, and improve the sense of place in my newsletter articles and in my memoir draft.

Hi Rey,
I’m stoked to work with you again and watch your talent spread into writing about place, both in the travel writing sphere and in your memoir and newsletter work. And it sounds like you’re often touching on places with a lot of character, so this should be a fun journey!I noticed you’re a fan of River Selby. I know her work mainly from this insightful piece. Any next essays or journalistic pieces you’d recommend I check out? (Given my current energy level, I’m not up for tackling her book now.)
Thanks again for sharing your Substack expertise on the Friday call! I look forward to chatting more!
Cheers,
Ax-
Thanks so much, Amanda! I’m really excited to be working with you again and I really appreciate all your guidance and excellent and helpful feedback!
That’s a great interview with River Selby – despite the interviewer using “she” instead of “they” for River, but that’s pretty common – thanks for sharing. I mainly know River’s book which I was a beta reader for and then read the finished version also – that was a fascinating learning experience for me as a writer. Here’s an excerpt of the book published in Hippocampus, if you’re interested in an article-length bit of the book: https://www.hcn.org/issues/57-8/a-hotshots-search-for-belonging-among-the-flames/
I did look up my facts on Substack’s current pricing, and I was a little off – if a reader buys a subscription through the website on their computer, Substack still takes (only) 10%. But for their new feature – buying a subscription through the mobile app on iPhones – Apple Pay takes 30%.
In any case, I wouldn’t recommend Substack to anyone interested in paid subscriptions!Thanks very much,
Rey -
Such an inspiring bio, Rey! You have such a welcoming presence and voice that I find so soothing and inviting. We need more voices like yours out there, encouraging conversations rather than confrontations. I feel similarly about travel writing, and I also don’t want to make or perpetuate myths about a place or exacerbate over-tourism. So much to think about! But it begins with thoughtfulness. I look forward to seeing what you write!
-

-
Eeeek, I used “her,” assuming the interviewer had their ducks in a row… That’s a good reminder to factcheck, eh?
Also, thanks for clueing me in!
How cool that you were a beta-reader for them! I’ll check that excerpt out once I’ve finished catching up my 2024 taxes (wah! The extension has come due today!).
That’s shocking about Apple Pay! Gross. But as you point out, Substack is also nasty for a number of reasons, including plagiarism, hate speech, Nazis, censorship, doxxing, harassment, AI slush, etc.
