In our fourth episode, we chat with Rachel King, an editor at Fortune overseeing coverage of travel, luxury and books. She also reports on the food and drinks industries.
Tune in to hear Rachel share her thoughts on:
1) How the pandemic has changed Fortune’s coverage
2) How she comes up with compelling story ideas and the best ways to pitch her
3) Why Fortune launched the “Startup Year One” special series on entrepreneurs
4) What kinds of books she is open to reviewing and what to avoid when pitching a book
5) Why cocktails-to-go and outdoor dining should continue
6) Where she is currently dreaming of traveling to post-pandemic
Rachel also addresses a listener question from Shannon Mustipher, noted bartender and author of “Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails” on the kinds of books that will resonate with the public in the coming months.
The Fortune editor is also pet mom to the adorable Dash, who has his own Instagram account, @thedoodledash. He’s a clever and witty writer, too, just like his mom. Dash makes a cameo appearance on the show by playing with his squeaky toy during our interview.
