Wired into the campus scene
Sally McGrane, MA '03, had a considerable amount of writing
experience under her belt when she signed on this spring as
the magazine's Corbin Gwaltney Fellow. Before coming to The
Writing Workshops at Johns Hopkins to earn her master's
degree in non-fiction writing, she lived in California and
freelanced (specializing in technology coverage) for The
New York Times, Wired magazine, and Forbes ASAP.
Our stories took her all over the university--from the
streets of Charles Village
( "Saturday
Night," February) to the golden bathroom of Evergreen
House ( "Gilded
Bath a TV Star," April). We'll miss Sally's quirky
sense of humor and her knack for honing in on the
offbeat.
An engaging read--and interview
"For me, the sign of a good book is when it engages the
reader," says writer Gregg A. Wilhelm, who has been
involved in book publishing (as an editor, company
director, and marketing manager) for more than a decade. He
is past president of the Mid-Atlantic Publisher's
Association. With Devra Davis' new book When Smoke Ran
Like Water, he says, "I found myself talking and even
arguing with the book as I read it. Wow!" Wilhelm's
interviews with Davis were equally as compelling, he says.
"She pulled no punches. Her passion lies in taking science
out of the lab and into the community to make a
difference." --SD
