A Rookie Reporter's First Fire: How Grammar Girl Found Her Way

For Beyond the Headlines, we like to catch up with Reno author Mignon Fogarty, better known as Grammar Girl, to explore language. This week, she talks to Reno Public Radio’s Michelle Bliss about tips for recent college grads trying to land freelance writing gigs. But first, they begin with a burning question that bugs Michelle every time nice weather arrives and folks start gathering around the grill. Let’s take a listen.

Along with offering tips on how to become a freelance writer, Fogarty also shares how her career path took shape early on. Spoiler alert: Mignon's story involves a fire in a college science lab and a rookie reporter springing into action!

Michelle Billman is a former news director at KUNR Public Radio.
