Laurie McAndish King’s award-winning essays and photography have appeared in Smithsonian magazine, the San Francisco Chronicle, Travelers’ Tales’ The Best Women’s Travel Writing, Lonely Planet’s The Kindness of Strangers, a dozen literary anthologies, and elsewhere. She is the recipient of travel writing’s highest prize, the Lowell Thomas Gold Award.
King’s first travel memoir, Lost, Kidnapped, Eaten Alive! True stories from a curious traveler, was published in 2014. Publisher’s Weekly described it as “part cultural tour, part prayer to the natural world.” Other reviewers called it witty, intelligent, savvy, quirky, fresh and fun.
Her second collection, Your Crocodile has Arrived: More true stories from a curious traveler, is due in 2017.
