Katherine Seligman, author of At the Edge of the Haight, on Writers on Writing
Katherine Seligman is a journalist and author in San Francisco. As a reporter, she’s
focused on social issues, from homelessness, mental health and end of
life issues to the city’s boom and bust cycles. But she’s also written
about everything else, from self-appointed graffiti curators, urban
coyotes and embryonic sex selection to what her kids learned growing up
in Haight Ashbury.
Katherine joins me to talk about her novel, At the Edge of the Haight, as well as writing, craft, and process.
