Chris Nicholson's Writing Weblog

An excellent article by Sports Illustrated writer S.L. Price appears in Oxford American. The piece, "The Apprentice," details how Price became a sports writer, starting with his experience on his college newspaper, ending with his coverage of the big leagues of all American sports.
The autobiographical component is just that: a component. What the story is really about is what it takes to become a sports writer, and how it feels to be one. It's a great read.
