By Brendan O’Meara

Nile Capello (@liketheriver) is here to talk about her Atavist Magazine piece “The Girl in the Picture.” It’s a riveting piece of true crime taken on by two amateur sleuths.

First I speak with editor-in-chief Seyward Darby and then let Nile take it from there.

With Nile, we talk about the writing lessons she’s gleaned from bouldering, how she got into true crime as a kind of self-preservation, and how she determines what stories are “worthy.” We also dig into how she got her foot in the door to full time freelancing.
