That’s so generous of you! We’re reading it in a couple weeks so I will be in touch. That report by Elon Green is how I found your piece. It’s such a great report filled with important resources.
I was happy to see your name pop up in my feed yesterday. I just assigned your piece on Jennifer Pan to my undergrads. (It’s a creative non-fiction writing-true crime class.)
