Charley Locke

I’m a narrative journalist, editor, and story producer, often covering what it’s like to grow up and grow old.

I’m a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine. I also write features and report special projects for national publications including Bloomberg Businessweek, The Atlantic, WIRED, Vox, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal.

I write about travel and contribute to guidebooks from Wildsam, including guides to Big Sur, the redwoods, coastal California, and Yosemite.

I produce and direct creative stories onstage and for video, formerly for Pop-Up Magazine and now for brands like Patreon, Hello Sunshine, and Eventbrite.

I teach Flying Solo, an online course on building a sustainable and fun freelance journalism career, with my friend and colleague Megan Greenwell.
