Brooke Jarvis is a longform narrative and environmental journalist who lives in Seattle. One of Jarvis’ more recent stories, “The Deepest Dig,” will be included in The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2015. The story first ran in the The California Sunday Magazine in November 2014 and reports on the advent of deep-sea mining. Jarvis received a 2015 Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellowship to continue work on the story.
More recently, Jarvis wrote the story “Homeward.” That story, also published by The California Sunday Magazine, is about a young man from the jungles of Ecuador whose village sent him stateside so he could be educated and come back to save the village from the oil industry and colonization.
