Sarah Khan is a freelance travel writer for the Wall Street Journal, Condé Nast Traveler, and Travel + Leisure.

Today Sarah shares the backstory of her award-winning feature for the New York Times, "A Muslim American’s Homecoming: Cowboys, Country Music, Chapatis." We discuss the origins of the idea, as well as pitching, reporting, and writing the article, and responses after publication.

She breaks down her processes and shares insights and tips about local contacts, finding multiple stories from each trip, and writing through self-doubt.
