Bio
Edie Jarolim has worn many hats, not counting the sombrero she donned on a certain one-margarita-too-many night. She got a Ph.D. in American literature from New York University (which explains the occasional literary allusion in her restaurant reviews); worked as a senior editor for Frommers and Fodor’s travel guides (not simultaneously); and translated guidebooks from British to American English in the London office of Rough Guides (proof that the U.S. and England are indeed separated by a common tongue).
After moving from Manhattan to Tucson, Arizona, where she knew no one and had no job, she learned to drive and became a freelance writer, editor, blogger, and dog slave.
For the full story, check out her newly published memoir, Getting Naked for Money.
