Lyn Riddle began her journalism career at the Rock Springs Daily Rocket Miner in Rock Springs, Wyoming, a rough-and-tumble place that lured thousands of workers to build a huge coal-fired generating plant by day and wreak havoc by night. Political corruption came next. A reporter's paradise.
She worked cityside for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner with a cigar-smoking city editor in a rumpled shirt, gray pants and a clip-on tie who demanded precision in reporting and classy writing. Jobs as a staff writer and an editor on the city desk and state desk of the Greenville Piedmont and The Greenville News in South Carolina came next. Fifteen years of freelance writing followed for publications such as The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Newsweek and Readers Digest.
Wanting to write stories that would make a difference in town she lived in, she went back to The Greenville News as projects editor then city editor.
She worked as editor of the Greenville Journal, started papers in Anderson and Spartanburg in South Carolina and developed a newspaper website journalwatchdog.com.
She is the author of four non-fiction books and teaches journalism at Furman University and Converse College. She holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Northern Colorado and a master of fine arts degree in creative writing from Converse College.
