I’m Darren Samuelsohn, and you’re reading a bonus edition of love, journalism, a weekly newsletter that’s published Tuesdays around noon DC time that’s full of insights, interviews, ideas and inspiration from me, a veteran journalist who has been reporting and editing writers for 30+ years.
Are you new here? Please sign up to get love, journalism for free, and consider a paid subscription to help support my work and spread the journalism love. You can also listen to ‘The love, journalism Show’ podcast here. New episodes air on Saturday mornings.
It’s kid fiction time.
Last week, I invited you to pick a chapter from Darren’s Book of Historical Fiction — an 8th grade assignment from my American history class, circa 1989 — to publish for all the world to see.
And we have a winner. So I now give you….
I’m pretty sure I got an A.
