Fearless—Diary of a Badass Reporter

“Julie Blacklow’s career in Seattle’s lively local news scene was one big story after another which she recounts in Fearless in her omigod style. Fearless, entertaining and passionate. Julie was born to be a journalist.”

“A wickedly funny, entertaining and heart-wrenching page-turner. Julie’s laugh-out-loud wit and eloquent prose give us a glimpse behind the curtains of history; events that are thrilling, sometimes gruesome and shocking and seemingly unreal. Courage, heart and relentless determination seep from the pages of this real-life story. Fearless is a story of resilience and survival—a poignant reminder of what it takes for the bravest of journalists to keep up the fight.”

“My main interest is making sure that all do themselves a huge favor and read Fearless! It chronicles the compelling life story of an individual of enormous candor, tenacity, and talent. God, Julie just opens up her heart, her secrets, her deepest thoughts in a way I found so unusual. What amazes me is how she brings together so many significant stories and key events of our generation in so few pages and makes it such an enjoyable read that runs a roller-coaster gamut from thrilling to poignant. It is hard to explain how deeply taken I was by this book.”

“For a person whose life’s work revolved around telling other people’s stories, Julie’s is worth the price of admission. At a time when some consider news ‘fake’ and journalism itself is under attack, this is a master’s degree in reporting from one of our business’s best ever. Julie knows news and knows how to make you cherish it as much as she does. I knew she was good when we were co-workers, but I had no idea of the badass she really was.”
