BONUS: Writer Susan Orlean's 'Joyride' revved up in the PNW
Update: 2025-11-16
Description
Before the bestsellers, before one of her bestsellers became a movie, before Meryl Streep (!) played her in that movie...author Susan Orlean started her career in Portland, writing for the Willamette Week and the now-defunct Paper Rose. Orlean writes about her love of the PNW (among other things) in her new memoir Joyride.
Orlean talks with Katie Campbell about finding mentorship as a writer, the changing landscape of long-form journalism, and more in this bonus episode of Meet Me Here.
