She’s an incredible writer and reporter. She’s a senior staff writer for The Ringer. On top of that, she’s generous and insightful, and she brought all of that and more to this episode of the podcast.
We talk about her feature on Tyler Skaggs, a notable selection for Year’s Best Sports Writing.
We also dig into her biography Giannis: The Improbable Rise of an MVP.
We talk about failure and persistence and writing and ledes. This is a dream conversation if you’re into the nuts and bolts of writing and reporting long features and books.
Her feature on the late Gigi Bryant also was a notable selection for YBSW, so that’s yet another feather in Mirin’s hat.
