Sarah Tory

Hello!

I’m a print and audio journalist with a decade of experience telling stories that center people and places on the margins. My reporting has taken me across the western United States, the U.S.-Mexico border region, and South America for High Country News, Hakai, NPR, Mother Jones, bioGraphic, Sierra, The Colorado Trust, and others.

Currently, I’m the inaugural women’s desk reporter for Aspen Public Radio, where I cover women’s issues in the Roaring Fork Valley and beyond. Previously, I’ve worked as a correspondent for High Country News and as a newspaper reporter in Chile. Before that, I rode my bicycle down the spine of the Andes from northwest Argentina to Ushuaia.

I studied English Literature at Williams College, and I have an MFA in creative nonfiction writing from Columbia University. In 2016, I was a fellow at the Logan Nonfiction Program. My work has been recognized by The Canadian National Magazine Awards, The Society of Professional Journalists, and the Colorado Press Association among others. I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, and am currently based in the mountains of western Colorado. When I’m not reporting or writing, I climb, ski, and make pottery.

I’ve completed Hostile Environment and First Aid Training through the International Women’s Media Foundation and am available for writing assignments, fact-checking, narrative consulting, research, editing, and adventures.
