Letters From Over Here have moved to Substack. We encourage you to join us and subscribe.
Letters From Over Here is a way for Patrick Range McDonald to communicate more personally with his readers by writing letters to them. He has also started a magazine on Substack called MacDomhnall’s, which features narrative nonfiction, investigative journalism, and other good writing.
McDonald is an author, journalist, and activist based in Los Angeles, California. His work has earned him numerous honors, including the “Journalist of the Year” and “Best Activism Journalism” awards from the Los Angeles Press Club and the national “Public Service” award from the Association of Alternative Newsmedia.
For the “Journalist of the Year” award, judges wrote: “‘Range’ is an appropriate middle name. What incredibly detailed reporting on a variety of complicated topics. What an ability to make us feel as if we know the players. What skill in explaining messy situations. The very essence of solid journalism.”
Through his longtime work in journalism and activism, and through his extensive traveling around the world and personal experiences, McDonald holds a unique understanding of life, power, and how the world operates. It informs all his work. (He also likes to have fun.)
At Letters From Over Here and MacDomhnall’s, McDonald shares the things he’s learned and experienced by writing letters, articles, and essays on a wide array of subjects. His ultimate goal for these publications is to make the world a better place, in his own humble way.
We hope to see you there…
