“I feel like I partly came to writing through being in college during the start of the Iraq war, and knowing that those issues mattered lot to me, and wanting to go see for myself.” FeelsWritingWarKnowingIssuesCollegeIraqIraq War Author:Sarah Stillman
“I always knew I wanted to write, but I didn't know that I would want to do investigative reporting - in part because it seemed so ill-suited for my personality, or I thought it was ill-suited for my personality, insofar as I'm not very aggressive, and I'm not confrontational.” KnowsWantWritingWantedPersonalityIllAggressive Author:Sarah Stillman
“It's been nice, actually, to keep in touch with a lot of the people and families that I've written about. Like with the kids I was just writing about from Guatemala, who survived being kidnapped and fleeing violence, it was nice to just sit down in their living room and play bingo with them, go to dinner with the family. And sometimes not thinking about it in such a mechanistic "I am now coming to report and get what I need" way, but just spending time, helps you see a more natural version of who they are too.” PeopleThinkingWritingSometimesHelpingKidsNaturalNiceViolenceLiving RoomSpending Time Author:Sarah Stillman
